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.

A tilt-top table, also known as a snap-top table, features a surface hinged to a central turned column. Popularised during the 18th century, the top pivots vertically to allow storage along room perimeters when not in use.

Period examples were typically constructed from solid English oak, featuring hand-turned central stems and tripod legs secured with bearer joints. The catch mechanisms were made using iron or wooden blocks fitted directly beneath the top surface.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-planed undersides, hand-cut joinery, and natural timber shrinkage over time, which often turns originally circular tops slightly oval. Dovetail joints anchoring the tripod legs to the pedestal stem are additional structural indicators.

Position the piece beside an armchair as an occasional drink stand, or tilt the surface vertically in a corner to showcase the timber grain as a decorative element. Its traditional proportions create balance when placed alongside contemporary minimalist upholstery.

Position the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage or splitting. Dust regularly using a soft dry cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish periodically to preserve the protective surface patina.
