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

Originating in late 19th-century Paris, bistro tables were designed for compact seating outside cafes and taverns. Their sturdy cast iron bases provided stability on uneven cobbled streets, while lightweight tops allowed establishment owners to move them easily at closing time.

Classic French bistro tables typically combine heavy cast iron or wrought iron bases with tops made from marble, zinc, or timber planks. The ironwork often includes diagonal cross-bracing or decorative scrolled legs for structural support.

Authentic period examples feature substantial cast iron bases with cast foundry marks, hand-fitted joinery, and natural wear or residual paint layers. Original timber tops often display natural weathering, shrinkage lines, and historical patina.

These versatile tables serve effectively as small dining surfaces in breakfast nooks, compact desks in home offices, or occasional tables in sunrooms. Pairing raw timber and ironwork with contemporary seating creates a balanced textural contrast.

Timber surfaces should be dusted regularly and treated with clear beeswax to retain moisture without altering the colour. Iron bases require dry wiping to prevent oxidisation, and outdoor placement should be sheltered to protect bare metal components.
