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 the early 19th century, a chamber table was a versatile furniture piece placed in bedrooms or private sitting rooms for writing and grooming, characterised by slender legs and frieze drawers.

Craftspeople during this era primarily utilised solid timber and veneers of mahogany, constructed with hand-dovetailed drawer joinery and finished with solid brass handles and castors.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, period-correct brass hardware, hand-planed drawer linings, natural timber age signs, and refined reeded or turned legs.

Integrate the table into a contemporary space as a compact home office desk, position it behind a sofa as a console, or style it in a hallway with decorative ceramics and contemporary art.

Maintain the finish by applying natural beeswax sparingly, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight, and wiping dust away with a clean, dry cotton cloth.
