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

A drop-leaf table is a space-saving design incorporating a fixed central tabletop flanked by one or two hinged leaves. These side flaps can be raised and supported by bracket arms or legs to extend the surface, or folded down vertically when not required.

Historically, drop-leaf tables were constructed using dense hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, walnut, and native fruitwoods like cherry or applewood. Cabinetmakers fitted them with iron or brass hinges, turned timber legs, and solid drawer linings.

Period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, hand-planed timber understructures, and original brass fittings or rule joints along the table flaps. Oxidisation around drawer handles and uneven timber shrinkage over time are also key markers.

These adaptable tables serve as compact dining options in modern apartments, hallway console tables, or side tables placed behind a sofa. Dropping one or both leaves allows the piece to fit flush against narrow walls while preserving floor space.

Clean timber surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply high-grade beeswax twice yearly to protect the finish. Spills should be wiped immediately to avoid water rings, and the table should be kept away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
