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.

Introduced in the eighteenth century, the dumbwaiter was designed as a tiered portable table to hold condiments, side dishes, and decanters. Its structure permitted diners to serve themselves during private conversations without servants present in the dining room.

Early nineteenth-century dumbwaiters were primarily crafted from solid mahogany. They feature turned central columns, drop-leaf wooden tiers hinged with brass, and splayed tripod legs fitted with brass cup castors.

Authentic pieces display hand-turned pillars, original brass rule hinges on the drop leaves, hand-cut joinery, and brass castors. Age-appropriate shrinkage lines and natural oxidisation on the underside of the mahogany also indicate authenticity.

A dumbwaiter functions as an occasional side table in a living room, an accent piece in a hallway, or a modern drinks cart stocked with decanters and glassware in a dining space.

Maintain the surface by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying high-quality beeswax twice a year along the grain. Keep the timber clear of direct sunlight and radiators to prevent drying and cracking.
