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.

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.
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.

A bobbin turned table features legs and stretchers shaped on a lathe to create a series of repeating, spool-like beads. Popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, this woodturning technique offered structural support alongside a distinctive decorative profile.

Tables from this period were primarily crafted from native hardwoods such as English oak, walnut, or fruitwoods. Construction relied on traditional mortise and tenon joinery, wood pegs, and hand-cast brass hardware for drawer handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle irregularities in the turned bobbins due to hand-lathe crafting, along with hand-sawn drawer linings and pegged joints. Look for natural wear on the lower stretchers and a deep patina formed over centuries of use.

Position an oak side table beside upholstered seating or in an entryway paired with contemporary artwork. The rich grain and dark tones of aged oak provide a grounding, textural contrast against smooth modern surfaces and neutral wall colours.

Maintain the wood finish by dusting regularly with a dry, soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and harsh sunlight to prevent shrinkage, splitting, or colour fading.
