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.

Introduced in the 17th century, a gateleg table features a central stationary section and one or two hinged leaves supported by pivoting leg assemblies known as gates.

Late 17th-century examples were predominantly constructed from solid walnut, oak, or fruitwood, featuring mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-turned legs.

Look for hand-sawn timber marks, original wooden pegged construction, hand-carved barley twist turnings with slight variations, and authentic wear on lower stretchers.

Positioned with leaves folded against a wall as a console table, or fully extended with modern dining chairs to contrast historic wood tones against clean lines.

Apply a high-quality beeswax paste annually along the wood grain, keep away from direct heat sources, and clean surfaces using a dry microfibre cloth.
