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 butlers carry is a portable wooden tray with a central divider and integrated hand grip, traditionally used in 18th and 19th-century English households to transport cutlery and dining accessories between service areas and the dining room.

These domestic items were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, featuring dovetail joinery at the corners and a fitted wooden base panel for structural durability.

Authentic Georgian examples typically exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, evidence of hand-planed timber on the underside, natural wear around the central carrying grip, and original surface patination from historical use.

An antique wooden carry functions effectively as a functional organiser on a sideboard, kitchen island, or desk to hold folded linens, stationery, or curated tabletop objects.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish once or twice annually to protect the surface finish, keeping the object away from standing water and direct heat sources.
