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

Produced during the mid-19th century, early Victorian games tables typically combine decorative craftsmanship with functional utility, featuring reversible or lift-off tops that conceal internal boards for chess, backgammon, or cribbage.

Cabinetmakers during this period predominantly utilised dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood, often employing dovetail drawer joinery, turned stretchers, and hand-carved trestle supports.

Authentic mid-19th-century pieces feature hand-carved fretwork, original brass hardware or wooden drawer pulls, natural age-related oxidisation in drawer linings, and hand-cut joinery.

Position the piece as an occasional side table or accent table in a living space, reading nook, or study, pairing its rich wood tones with neutral contemporary upholstery.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding direct sunlight, radiators, and moisture.
