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

Louis XV style games tables are characterised by curvilinear forms, including cabriole legs, serpentine aprons, and elaborate decorative surface work such as floral marquetry and cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts.

These tables typically utilise a solid timber frame faced with high-grade mahogany, rosewood, or kingwood veneers, accented with intricate wood marquetry and cast brass or bronze ormolu fittings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut timber veneers, mercury-gilded or chiseled ormolu mounts fastened with original period screws, and natural signs of timber age or oxidation on the underside framing.

A games table functions effectively as an accent piece in a contemporary living space, positioned in an alcove or corner to add historical texture against neutral walls.

Maintain stable humidity levels to prevent veneer lift, dust regularly with a soft lint-free cloth, and apply beeswax sparingly while avoiding direct sunlight and harsh chemical polishers.
