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.

The trestle table is one of the earliest forms of wooden dining furniture in Western Europe, dating back to the medieval period. Designed to be easily assembled and dismantled, these tables consisted of loose planks resting on sturdy wooden trestle frames connected by stretchers.

Seventeenth century tables were constructed primarily from native quarter-sawn oak using mortise and tenon joinery secured with hand-carved wooden pegs. Tops were crafted from thick oak planks, and lower stretchers provided structural support while keeping feet off cold stone floors.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed surface textures, slight irregularities in dimensions, and dark, undisturbed patination in unpolished crevices. Search for original wooden peg construction, oxidation around iron fastenings if present, and heavy foot wear along the stretchers.

A historical oak trestle table creates strong visual contrast when set against clean architectural lines and neutral wall colours. Pair it with mid-century modern or minimalist dining chairs to balance the heavy timber proportions.

Apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and maintain the patination. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent shrinking, cracking, or movement in the solid oak planks.
