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

Produced during the early 19th century, Regency reading tables feature adjustable ratcheted tops designed to support books or manuscripts at an angle. They typically exhibit elegant proportions, fine mahogany construction, and slender tapered or turned legs.

High-grade flame mahogany and Cuban mahogany were the primary woods favoured for these pieces, often complemented by boxwood or brass inlay stringing. Internal ratchets and hinges were forged from iron or brass, with legs frequently terminating in brass cup castors.

Authentic Regency pieces show period-correct joinery, such as hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers and original brass ratchets with appropriate oxidisation. Look for slight irregularities consistent with hand tool manufacturing and natural wood shrinkage along drawer bottoms.

Position the piece in a study, library alcove, or corner of a living room to function as a decorative occasional desk or display stand. Pair it with a contemporary table lamp and neutral upholstery to balance its dark wood tones and historical silhouette.

Clean the surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, buffing gently along the wood grain to protect the original patina and maintain moisture levels.
