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

Victorian extending dining tables were designed to accommodate large social gatherings using telescopic winding mechanisms or pull-out runners to insert additional leaves. Crafted primarily from dense timbers such as mahogany and oak, they typically feature substantial turned, fluted, or carved legs mounted on brass castors to assist movement.

High-quality 19th-century tables were predominantly constructed from Cuban or West Indian mahogany, prized for its strength, rich grain, and stability. Internal leaf extension mechanisms often utilised oak or pine, while hardware comprised cast brass castors and steel or iron winding screws.

Authentic pieces by Gillows of Lancaster or London frequently bear a stamped mark, such as GILLOWS, GILLOW & CO, or an inventory serial number stamped onto the top edge of a drawer or underside of the timber frame. Superior cabinetmaking, fine timber selection, smooth extension mechanisms, and precisely turned legs are also key indicators.

Pairing a dark mahogany table with modern minimalist dining chairs creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern lines. Placing the table over a neutral, textured wool rug and beneath contemporary pendant lighting helps ground the piece in contemporary dining rooms.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year along the grain. Protect the finish from direct heat and liquid spills by using felt-backed mats, and keep the table away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage or fading.
