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

Originating in the early 19th century, George IV fold-over tea tables feature classical design elements, flame mahogany veneers, and hinged tops that rotate and open to expand the usable surface area.

These tables were constructed primarily from solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers, often featuring cast brass castors, internal storage compartments, and hand-carved pedestal supports.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, period-correct brass hinges, natural wood patination, and hand-carved architectural details such as lyre or pedestal supports.

Positioned against a wall in an entryway or living room, the table serves as a console unit styled with modern table lamps, art objects, or framed pictures.

Position timber furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or discolouration. Clean the surface with a soft microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax regularly.
