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

An envelope card table features four triangular hinged leaves on the top surface that unfold, resembling an open envelope, to double the surface area for playing cards or tabletop games. Popularised during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, these compact tables often feature hidden mechanisms to support the leaves when open.

Edwardian cabinetmakers frequently utilised hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, and satinwood. Construction often included detailed marquetry or stringing inlays, brass hinges, fitted single drawers for storing playing cards, and brass castors on tapered square legs.

Authentic Edwardian examples typically feature precision marquetry inlay, original brass quadrant hinges, and a revolving top mechanism designed to support the unfolded leaves. Check for hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer and authentic wear on the brass castors and undersides of the legs.

Positioned in an empty corner, hallway, or beside a sofa, an envelope card table functions as a compact console or side table when folded. When unfolded, it serves as a functional game table for bridge or chess, pairing well with modern armchair seating.

Keep the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the rosewood from drying or cracking and to preserve the inlay. Dust regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to maintain the finish.
