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.
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.
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.

A birdcage tilt-top table features an 18th-century wooden mechanism beneath the top that allows the surface to rotate 360 degrees and tilt vertically for space-saving storage.

Georgian tripod tables were predominantly crafted from dense Cuban mahogany or walnut, featuring hand-turned central columns, brass catches, and iron underside bracing.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, asymmetrical underside wear, original iron release latches, and pad or claw feet showing natural timber oxidisation.

Position the table beside an armchair as an occasional drink surface, or tilt the top vertically against a wall to highlight the mahogany grain as a decorative backdrop.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish annually following the timber grain while keeping the item clear of direct heat sources.
