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 gateleg table features hinged leaves supported by pivoting legs or gates, allowing the table surface to expand or fold down flat. The inclusion of a sleigh base, also known as a shoe base, provides a low horizontal runner that anchors the upright turned legs.

Early gateleg tables were typically constructed from solid English oak utilizing hand-cut mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden dowels. The tops were fastened using rule joints or simple iron strap hinges, reflecting vernacular timber joinery.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-planed undersides, irregular wooden pegs, and uneven wear along the gates and footrests. Natural timber shrinkage across the grain and historical oxidisation around iron hinges also indicate original construction.

A gateleg table functions as a flexible piece, serving as a narrow console or hall table when folded closed. When extended, it provides occasional seating in compact dining areas, entryways, or living rooms alongside contemporary furnishings.

Maintain the oak finish by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice per year. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and damp areas to avoid timber movement or splitting.
