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

A drop leaf occasional table features a central top section flanked by hinged side flaps that fold down to conserve space or raise to extend the surface area. Popularised in Britain during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these versatile tables served various functions ranging from tea serving to holding books.

Traditional Victorian pieces were constructed predominantly from solid mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, frequently incorporating carved pedestal stems such as barley twist designs. Construction features include hand-cut wooden rule joints along the hinged leaves and carved tripod or quadruped leg bases.

Look for evidence of historical hand craftsmanship, such as hand-sawn rule joints on the leaf hinges, slight irregularities in hand-turned column spirals, and natural timber shrinkage over time. Authentic examples often feature original surface oxidisation on unexposed undersides and brass hardware secured with period slot screws.

Position the table beside a sofa or reading chair, raising one or both leaves to hold lamps, drinks, or books. The compact footprint enables placement in narrow alcoves or beside doorways, introducing warm timber tones into contemporary interior schemes.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice per year, buffing along the direction of the grain. Maintain a stable ambient temperature away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid warping the leaves or drying out the wood finish.
