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 18th-century Britain, a dumb waiter is a tiered mobile stand designed to hold side dishes, condiments, or tableware, allowing diners to serve themselves without domestic staff present.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany, featuring turned central shafts, tripod legs, and brass castors or caps.

Authentic George III examples typically exhibit hand-turned central columns, rule joints on drop-leaves, original brass castors, and natural hand-poured finish patination.

A two-tier dumb waiter functions effectively as an occasional drinks trolley, a decorative plant display stand, or a side table in a living or dining room.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources.
