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 nest of tables consists of a set of graduated occasional tables engineered to slide beneath one another for compact storage when not in use. Popularised in the late 18th and 19th centuries, they provided versatile surface space for tea service or reading in period drawing rooms.

Authentic 19th-century examples frequently feature solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or rosewood, topped with decorative veneers like yew or walnut. Construction typically includes slender turned spindle legs, dovetail joints along table skirtings, and inlaid stringing.

Examine the underside and runner mechanisms for hand-planed timber, period-correct glue residue, and natural wood shrinkage. Genuine antique sets display fine hand-turned legs, proportional graining, and integrated wooden runner tracks rather than modern metal fittings.

Position the nested set alongside an armchair or sofa as an adaptable side table solution. The individual tables can be stepped out partially to display decorative items or separated across a room when entertaining guests.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the grain once or twice a year. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and harsh sunlight to prevent drying, warping, or fading of the delicate veneered surfaces.
