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 Britain, butler tray tables were functional serving pieces featuring detachable or folding trays with handholes to transport tea, drinks, or meals. Over time, the design evolved into fixed low tables popularised as versatile coffee tables in traditional homes.

Traditional examples are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut. They feature mortise-and-tenon joinery, sturdy square or turned legs with connecting stretchers, and flush-mounted brass hinges on the hinged side flaps.

Look for signs of authentic craftsmanship including hand-cut joinery, aged patina around brass hinges, cut-out carrying handles, and natural wear along the leg stretchers and tray edges.

Place the table centrally in a living room arrangement to serve as a low coffee table, styling the top with stacked art books, a decorative bowl, or botanical arrangements to balance traditional woodwork with modern textures.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to protect the timber finish. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and keep brass hinges clean using a dry microfibre cloth to prevent tarnish.
