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.
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.
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.

Tray top tables originated in 18th and 19th-century Britain, designed primarily for serving afternoon tea or displaying silver service. The raised gallery edge and cut-out handles allowed portable trays to be placed securely on a fitted stand or incorporated directly into a fixed occasional table frame.

Victorian examples typically feature fine timber such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, selected for deep grain figures like flame mahogany. Construction techniques include hand-cut dovetail joints on the gallery corners, mortise and tenon joints for the legs, and solid timber corner blocks for frame stability.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn cut-out handles, slight irregularities in hand-carved dovetails, and genuine surface wear along the gallery edges. Additionally, authentic period furniture exhibits natural timber shrinkage, oxidisation on unpolished under-sections, and period fixings beneath the top frame.

Integrate the table into a contemporary living space as an accent drinks table beside an armchair or sofa. The classic dark timber tone pairs effectively with neutral upholstered seating, contemporary lighting, or curated ceramic displays to bridge traditional and modern aesthetics.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft microfibre cloth following the grain line. Apply a high-grade beeswax polish twice a year to nourish the timber, avoiding synthetic aerosol sprays and direct heat sources or intense sunlight that could warp the wood or fade the finish.
