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 16th-century England, the drop-leaf table was designed to maximize space in compact living areas. Featuring a central fixed surface flanked by hinged leaves, the leaves can be raised or lowered via support brackets to accommodate varying numbers of diners.

During the 19th century, drop-leaf tables were typically crafted from durable British hardwoods such as elm, oak, mahogany, and walnut. Elm was particularly favoured in country provincial furniture for its tough, cross-grained strength and distinctive decorative figure.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-cut joinery, hand-planed surfaces, and natural shrinkage around wooden dowels or tabletop joints. Look for rule joints along the hinged edges and honest wear or oxidisation around the legs and stretchers.

An antique drop-leaf table works exceptionally well in modern homes as a flexible dining solution in small kitchen nooks, or positioned against a wall as a console table with one leaf folded down.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the wood grain. Avoid placing the table near direct heat sources or in areas of extreme humidity to prevent timber warping.
