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

Popularised in the early 19th century, a Regency ladies work table was designed as a multi-functional piece of furniture, typically featuring drawers for needlework supplies, a collapsible drop-leaf surface, and a pleated fabric basket underneath to hold textiles.

These tables were commonly crafted from fine hardwoods such as flame mahogany or rosewood, often accented with brass castors, ebony stringing, and silk or satin fabric lining for the pleated sewing bin.

Authentic Regency pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass castors, swept sabre legs or turned pedestal supports, and natural age-related patina on both the timber and interior linings.

A Regency work table functions exceptionally well as a compact side table in a living room, a delicate bedside stand, or an accent piece in an entryway topped with a lamp and decorative objects.

Preserve the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying beeswax occasionally along the wood grain, while keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or fading.
