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.

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

A butlers tray table is a functional piece of occasional furniture comprising a deep, gallery-edged wooden tray resting upon a folding X-frame stand. Originating in 18th-century Britain, these portable tables allowed household staff to transport and serve refreshments efficiently.

Victorian examples were predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods such as Cuban mahogany, walnut, or oak, featuring brass hinges, webbing straps, and hand-cut dovetail joints on the tray gallery.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display hand-carved cut-out handles, hand-dovetailed gallery corners, natural patina in the timber, and original slotted steel or brass screws on the folding cross-stand.

A butlers tray table works well as a compact drinks bar beside a sofa, a temporary bedside table, or a decorative side table displaying books and ceramics in a living room.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking and fading.
