Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Designed during the reign of King George III in Britain, these tables feature a curved, wave-like serpentine front apron and top, constructed with a fold-over leaf to function as both a console against a wall and an opened surface for social entertaining.

Craftsmen primarily utilised solid or veneered mahogany, joined using hand-cut dovetails and mortise and tenon joints, incorporating fly legs or gate-leg mechanisms to support the opened leaf.

Genuine period pieces display hand-planed surfaces, secondary timbers such as oak or pine in internal frames, irregular hand-chiselled screws, and subtle signs of natural timber shrinkage along the grain over time.

Positioned against a neutral wall in an entrance hallway or living space, it functions as a slender console table beneath a mirror, suited for supporting modern ceramics or structured table lamps.

Keep the timber positioned away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading, dust regularly with a soft lint-free cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually following the direction of the grain.
