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 French fold-over games table, often associated with the Louis XV era, is a functional piece of furniture designed with a hinged top that swivels or unfolds to double its surface area for card playing or games.

These tables typically feature solid hardwood frames, such as walnut or oak, overlaid with fine veneers and intricate floral marquetry using contrasting woods like satinwood, kingwood, and fruitwood.

Authentic pieces feature signature slender cabriole legs, serpentine aprons, high-quality timber veneers, and brass or iron hinges on the folding leaf mechanisms.

Positioned against a wall when closed, it functions as a compact console or side table in an entryway or living room, easily unfolded to the centre of the room when needed.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent veneer lifting or colour fading, and clean regularly using a soft microfibre cloth with natural beeswax polish.
