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

Developed in the early 19th century, these specialised tables feature cantilevered or adjustable tops designed to slide over a chair or bed, allowing comfortable reading, writing, or drafting.

High-grade mahogany was the primary timber used for its dimensional stability and fine figure, complemented by brass hinges and iron locking mechanisms.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original period brass fitments, a weighted pedestal base to counterbalance the leaf, and hand-turned column details.

Position the piece beside an armchair or sofa to serve as a functional side table for books, tablets, or decorative objects.

Apply beeswax polish periodically to nourish the wood surface, position the item away from direct heat sources, and clean metal elements with a dry cloth.
