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

A dumb waiter is a multi-tiered occasional table introduced in mid-18th-century Britain to facilitate self-service during dining, allowing host and guests to converse without household servants present.

These pieces were primarily crafted from solid Cuban or West Indian mahogany, valued for its dense grain and stability, often supported by hand-turned central columns and brass castors.

Authentic 18th-century examples feature hand-turned central pillars, graduated circular surfaces with moulded dish rims, hand-carved tripod legs, and period-appropriate hand-cut joinery.

A tiered dumb waiter functions well as a decorative display stand in a dining room alcove, a plant stand in a hallway, or a side table beside living room seating.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
