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.

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

Originating in the eighteenth century, drop leaf tables feature hinged side leaves that drop down when not in use to conserve floor space. During the Georgian period, cabinetmakers crafted these versatile pieces using fine woods like mahogany to accommodate adaptable dining and living arrangements.

High-grade mahogany was the predominant timber selected during the late eighteenth century for its dense grain and stability. Construction often featured rule joints on the hinged leaves, hand-turned legs, and hand-carved details such as claw and ball feet.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, original brass hinges, and hand-carved details underneath. Look for natural patination, legitimate shrinkage across broad timber planks, and distinct claw and ball feet consistent with Chippendale or Georgian craftsmanship.

Position the table against a wall with leaves lowered to serve as a compact console, or extend the leaves to create a full dining surface. Complement the rich mahogany tones with neutral walls, contemporary ceramics, and tailored seating to balance historical style with modern functionality.

Dust regularly using a soft microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain timber nourishment. Avoid placing the table near direct heat sources or in direct sunlight, and clean up liquid spills immediately to protect the original finish.
