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.
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.
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.

A gateleg table is a foldaway table that features hinged leaves supported by pivoting legs that swing outward like gates. First introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries, these pieces provided adaptable dining options for space-saving domestic interiors.

During the late 17th century, cabinetmakers primarily crafted gateleg tables from solid walnut or oak, utilizing traditional mortise and tenon joinery and turned legs with connecting stretchers.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, hand-turned leg details, period drop-handles or iron fittings, and natural wood contraction marks corresponding with age.

Position the table against a wall with one flap lowered as a hall console, or place it fully extended in a dining area surrounded by modern seating to create visual contrast.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft dry cloth and applying high-grade beeswax polish once or twice annually, avoiding direct sunlight, radiators, and harsh liquid cleaners.
