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 gateleg table features hinged drop-leaf sides supported by pivoting legs known as gates, incorporating bobbin turninga woodworking technique characterised by repeating spool or bead shapes along the legs and stretchers that was prominent during the 17th century.

These tables were typically constructed from solid English oak or walnut, using hand-lathed turned legs, wooden pegs, mortise and tenon joinery, and thick timber planks without metal screws or modern adhesives.

Authentic period examples feature hand-planed surfaces, subtle variations in the hand-lathed bobbin turnings, hand-cut wooden or iron strap hinges, wooden peg construction, and deep natural patination from historic handling.

A gateleg table can function as a versatile dining surface in a compact space, positioned against a wall with leaves lowered as a console table, or placed behind a sofa to add architectural dark wood texture.

Position the piece away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent timber movement, clear dust with a soft microfibre cloth, and periodically apply a clear natural beeswax polish to protect the finish.
