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 library tables typically feature classical proportions, rich mahogany timber, and leather-inset writing surfaces supported by decorative trestle ends.

These tables were primarily constructed from solid and veneered mahogany, featuring leather writing tops, hand-carved end supports, and turned timber stretchers.

Authentic pieces display early 19th-century joinery techniques, natural wood grain variation, aged patina on the mahogany, and turned feet consistent with the eras craftsmanship.

Position the pair symmetrically in a home office or large hallway, layering the leather tops with minimalist brass desk lamps, contemporary ceramics, and stacked art books.

Dust the wood with a soft dry cloth, apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to preserve the timber finish, and treat the leather inset with a specialised leather conditioner while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources.
