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

Classical style console tables incorporate motifs inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture and mythology, including carved figural supports such as centaurs, caryatids, or terms. These pieces often feature gilding, geometric moulding, and heavy stone or marble tops.

These tables are traditionally constructed from a carved wooden framework, often lime or pine, coated in gesso and finished with leaf gilding. Tops are frequently inlaid or solid slabs of decorative marble or scagliola.

Authentic giltwood displays natural signs of age, including fine surface cracking (craquelure), light surface oxidisation, and wear where the underlying bole or gesso shows through. Hand-carved details also display subtle variations rather than precise machine-made symmetry.

Pairing console tables symmetrically in a foyer, grand hallway, or flanking a central architectural element creates structure. Placing them along a narrow wall space with oversized mirrors mounted above balances traditional carving with modern scale.

Gilded wood surfaces should be dusted dry using a soft camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners which dissolve gesso. Marble tops require cleaning with pH-neutral soap solutions and immediate drying to prevent staining.
