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

French centre tables from this era are characterized by ornate hand-carved timber frameworks coated in gesso and leaf gilding. They typically feature undulating serpentine tops, cabriole or tapered legs, intricate apron carving, and natural marble tops designed to withstand heavy use.

Craftsmen utilize carved hardwoods such as beech or lime, which are layered with chalk-based gesso and clay bole. Thin sheets of gold leaf are applied using water gilding or oil gilding techniques before being burnished with agate stones to achieve a lustrous metallic finish.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of natural age, such as slight cracking along timber joinery, uneven wear to the gold leaf showing underlying red or grey clay bole, and hand-cut construction marks on the underside of the frame and marble slab.

Position the table as a focal point in an entry foyer, beneath a chandelier, or within a high-ceilinged living room. Pairing ornate giltwood with minimalist modern art or contemporary seating creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern design.

Dust giltwood surfaces gently using a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or water which dissolve traditional water gilding. Clean marble tops using a damp, microfibre cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner, taking care to wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
