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 during the nineteenth century, Louis XV Revival furniture sought to recreate the elegant, fluid forms of mid-eighteenth-century French design. Card and games tables were essential social features in affluent households, crafted with complex marquetry and brass ormolu ornamentation to demonstrate social prestige.

These tables are typically constructed with exotic timber veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood over solid oak or pine cores. Decorative floral inlays feature contrast woods like sycamore or boxwood, while chased gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts reinforce corners and leg edges.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-carved oak carcass construction beneath veneers, and heavy cast metal mounts with hand-chased detailing. Original surfaces often display fine age-related crazing in the varnish and slight unevenness in hand-cut marquetry tesserae.

A marquetry card table serves as a statement console against a neutral wall, within a hallway, or inside a bay window alcove. Placing modern artwork or minimalist ceramics directly above or alongside the table creates a compelling visual contrast between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary style.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and fluctuating radiator heat to prevent veneer lifting or fading. Clean the timber with a soft microfibre cloth and apply high-grade beeswax sparingly, while cleaning brass ormolu mounts with a dry brush to avoid stripping historical patination.
