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

Patented in the early nineteenth century, an imperial action table utilizes a sliding telescopic wooden runner mechanism that allows the table frame to extend to receive extra leaf inserts.

Tables from this period were predominantly crafted from dense West Indian or South American mahogany, supported by brass castors and hand-forged steel or brass connecting clips.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut brass castors, original iron or brass leaf clips, natural oxidisation on the underside timber, and smooth wear along the telescopic tracks.

Pair the dark mahogany tone with neutral modern wall finishes, minimalist upholstered dining chairs, and contemporary pendant lighting to balance historic timber with clean modern lines.

Position the table away from direct radiator heat or strong sunlight, apply high-grade beeswax annually, and protect the top from heat and liquids using felt-backed pads.
