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

Originating in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, gateleg tables were designed as versatile, space-saving solutions for dining and domestic work in traditional homes.

These tables were predominantly constructed from solid timber such as oak or walnut, using mortise and tenon joints held together with wooden pegs.

Key indicators include hand-hewn plank tops, hand-turned baluster legs, early iron or wood butterfly hinges, and irregular wear patterns consistent with centuries of usage.

Gateleg tables function effectively as compact dining tables in smaller footprints, or folded against a wall as occasional console tables.

Regular dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and occasional applications of natural beeswax polish help maintain the timber patina and prevent dehydration.
