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

Originally created during the 18th and 19th centuries, butler trays were designed as portable serving surfaces. Household staff used the detached tray to transport items to guests, placing it onto a folding wooden stand for stability when serving.

Late Victorian pieces were commonly constructed from solid walnut, mahogany, or oak, featuring dovetail joints on the tray corners, raised gallery borders with hand-cut side handles, and turned wooden spindle cross-frames.

Authentic period examples demonstrate original patina, natural wood grain variation, traditional mortise and tenon or dovetail joinery, and a stand specifically proportioned to support the dimensions of the removable tray top.

A butler tray table functions effectively as a versatile side table, home bar surface, or occasional end table adjacent to seating in living rooms, hallways, or reading nooks.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain. Avoid placing wood near direct heat sources or in damp environments to prevent warping or splitting.
