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 Brazil during the early 20th century, these decorative tables feature tray tops inlaid with real preserved butterfly wings arranged under glass, mounted on turned native wood pedestals.

These pieces typically incorporate native Brazilian hardwoods for the turned central column and base, alongside genuine iridescent butterfly wings protected beneath a circular glass panel.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-turned wooden bases, natural variation and light-refracting iridescence in the wings, and period joinery rather than modern mass-produced printed glass patterns.

These tables function as distinct accent pieces, ideally placed beside an armchair, within a study, or alongside natural history collections to provide visual interest and textural contrast.

Keep the table positioned away from direct sunlight to avoid fading the biological specimens, dust the wooden base with a soft dry cloth, and clean the glass cover carefully without allowing liquids to seep into the surrounding timber rim.
