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 Georgian drop-leaf dining table features a fixed central top flanked by two hinged leaves that drop vertically when not extended. Developed in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, these tables employ pivoting gate legs or wooden rule joints to support the extended leaves, providing flexible seating capacity.

Cabinetmakers during the Georgian era predominantly used dense West Indian mahogany, native oak, walnut, and fruitwoods. Internal drawer linings or secondary gate structures often incorporated pine or oak for structural stability.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, hand-cut dovetails on frame joints, wrought iron hinges, and natural movement or shrinkage along the timber grain. Wear on the foot rests and gate pivot points consistent with age also indicates period construction.

Due to its adjustable footprint, a drop-leaf table functions effectively as a space-saving dining table in smaller dining rooms, or positioned against a wall as a console table when fully folded down. It pairs comfortably with both antique period seating and modern upholstered dining chairs.

Maintain timber by applying a thin layer of natural beeswax polish annually, buffing along the direction of the grain. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement, veneer splitting, and uneven colour fading.
