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.

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

Gallery trays typically feature raised metal or wooden railings surrounding a flat base, designed originally to prevent items from sliding off during transport. They gained significant popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras as formal serving pieces for tea and spirits.

These pieces generally combine solid hardwoods like oak or mahogany with silver-plated mounts, brass railings, or nickel accents. Joinery often involves precision-fitted baseboards secured within channeled frames, complemented by sturdy riveted handles.

Authenticity is usually determined by hallmarks or makers marks stamped onto the silver plate, combined with natural wood ageing, patination, and traditional construction techniques such as hand-cut screws or dovetailing.

Positioning the tray on a sideboard or coffee table creates a structured foundation for displaying decanters, glassware, or seasonal botanicals, introducing textural contrast and warm metallic accents to contemporary spaces.

Preserve the piece by dusting the wooden surface with a dry cloth and using specialised non-abrasive silver polish sparingly on the metal components to avoid staining the surrounding grain.
