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

Originating in England during the 16th and 17th centuries and refined through the Georgian period, gateleg tables feature hinged flaps supported by pivoting leg frames. This adaptable mechanism allows the table to expand for dining or fold compact for placement against walls.

High-quality period examples were typically crafted from dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany. Cabinetmakers utilised hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, rule joints along the leaf hinges, and carved cabriole or turned legs ending in pad or claw feet.

Authentic period pieces display hand-poured iron hinges, irregular hand-cut dovetails beneath the frame, original wooden rule joints, and hand-planed underside surfaces. Look for uneven timber shrinkages across wide top boards and genuine patination near the feet.

A drop-leaf gateleg table functions well in contemporary spaces as a slender hallway console when collapsed, or as an adaptable dining option in compact rooms. Pairing historic timber surfaces with modern upholstered dining chairs provides a balanced visual contrast.

Maintain timber patination by applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year with a soft cloth. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, joint loosening, and colour fading.
