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.

Popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries as part of the Grand Tour tradition, specimen marble tables were created to display geometric arrangements of geological marble samples collected from historical sites across Italy and continental Europe.

The tabletops consist of polished sections of natural marbles, porphyry, and hardstones set in a stone matrix, while the supporting pedestal bases are typically hand-carved from fine hardwoods such as satin birch, mahogany, or satinwood.

Authentic pieces feature slight variations in marble texture and colour, evidence of manual stonemasonry techniques, historical joinery on the wooden base, and natural surface wear consistent with age.

These decorative tables serve as accent pieces when placed next to contemporary armchairs, positioned in a quiet reading alcove, or showcased alongside neutral soft furnishings to allow the intricate marble patterns to stand out.

Clean the marble top with a damp cloth and pH-neutral stone cleaner, avoiding acidic chemicals that erode polished marble, and apply natural beeswax periodically to protect the carved wooden pedestal.
