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.
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.

Nineteenth-century French marquetry side tables feature decorative wood inlays depicting pastoral scenes, floral patterns, or classical imagery. They often draw structural inspiration from Louis XV and Louis XVI designs, combining curved cabriole or tapered legs with gilded metal mounts.

These tables are constructed using a hardwood core covered in thin veneers of contrasting woods such as walnut, rosewood, and kingwood. Hand-cut timber pieces form the surface artwork, complemented by cast brass or bronze mounts.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display signs of age, such as natural oxidisation on metal fittings and minor shrinkage line cracks in timber veneers. Drawer construction typically exhibits hand-cut dovetail joints and period lock mechanisms.

A marquetry side table serves as an accent piece beside modern upholstered sofas or armchairs. Positioning the table in neutral spaces creates contrast between contemporary minimalist architecture and historical woodwork.

Maintain marquetry furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme humidity changes to prevent veneer lift. Clean the surface with a dry microfibre cloth and apply neutral beeswax sparingly when necessary.
