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

Popular in early 19th-century Britain, Regency games tables often featured dual-purpose designs accommodating chess, cards, and needlework, crafted with elegant trestle bases and decorative veneers.

Fine exotic hardwoods such as rosewood and mahogany were favoured, frequently complemented by brass fittings, baize playing surfaces, inlaid marquetry, and fabric work baskets.

Look for period-appropriate construction details including hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass hinges, authentic wear on the baize or undercarriage, and natural age patina on the timber.

These versatile tables serve as distinguished side tables or hall console tables when folded, offering functional surfaces that add historical depth to contemporary living spaces.

Keep the timber hydrated using high-quality beeswax applied sparingly along the grain, avoid direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations, and clean baize surfaces gently with a soft brush.
