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.

Victorian library tables produced in the mid-to-late 19th century often featured highly figured burr walnut veneers, elaborate leg turnings, and gilt-bronze or ormolu mounts influenced by French Revival styles.

These pieces commonly utilised solid hardwoods faced with decorative burr walnut veneers, complemented by gilded ormolu mounts, cast brass castors, and hand-dovetailed drawer linings.

Authentic period pieces feature signs of hand-craftsmanship including hand-cut dovetails, original brass castors, natural oxidisation on metal fittings, and minor wood shrinkage consistent with age.

Position the table as a central statement piece in an executive office, hallway, or drawing room, pairing it with contemporary lighting and minimalist seating to complement its detailed woodwork.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading or veneer movement, applying high-quality beeswax regularly to protect the polished surface finish.
