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.

Popularised during the Georgian era, a tripod table features a three-legged base supporting a turned central column and a compact top, historically used for serving tea or supporting oil lamps and candles.

These tables were typically crafted from solid dense hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, joined using hand-cut dovetails and turned on a lathe.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved detailing, irregular hand-sawn underside marks, natural shrinkage along timber grain lines, and original hand-forged iron or wooden joinery.

Small tripod tables function well as occasional side tables beside an armchair, positioned in narrow alcoves, or used as stands for sculptural items and table lamps.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply high-grade beeswax sparingly along the grain, avoiding direct heat sources and radiators to prevent timber movement.
