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

Originally designed in the 18th and 19th centuries, butlers trays were portable serving surfaces used by domestic staff to transport items between kitchens and dining rooms. The folding stand allowed the tray to function as a temporary side table when required.

Traditional 19th-century examples were constructed from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut using mortise and tenon joinery. The folding stands utilised wooden cross-pivots or webbing straps alongside turned stretchers for stability.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carving or hand-planing marks, traditional joinery, and natural age-related patination around the handholds and joints. Consistent timber wear is typically present on the underside of the tray where it contacts the frame.

Position the piece in a living room or hallway as an occasional drinks bar, side table, or display surface for ceramics. Its compact form enables it to fit into tight spaces or beside an armchair.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber patination. Avoid placing hot items or unlined glassware directly onto the wood.
