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 eighteenth-century England, butlers tray tables were designed as portable serving trays supported by folding or fixed bases. They allowed household staff to transport tea, drinks, or meals efficiently between rooms.

Traditional examples are crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring brass drop-side hinges and integrated handholes cut directly into the gallery.

Look for solid timber construction, flush-mounted brass hinges along the hinged gallery sides, integrated carrying cut-outs, and evidence of hand-finished joinery.

A butlers tray table serves as an effective low coffee table or cocktail station in living areas, providing functional surface space while adding historical character.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a quality natural beeswax polish periodically to maintain the timber patination, keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
