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.

A gateleg table is a type of drop-leaf table fitted with hinged legs, known as gates, that swing outward to support the extended leaves. Originating in 16th-century England, these tables were produced extensively throughout the 18th century for flexible dining spaces.

These tables were typically constructed from solid timbers such as English oak, using hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs. The legs were commonly turned on a lathe, and structural stretchers were fitted near the base for stability.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular wooden peg joinery, and natural shrinkage across the grain that often creates a slightly asymmetrical top. Additional indicators include hand-wrought iron hinges and hand-shaped drawer linings.

A gateleg table provides adaptable functionality in contemporary spaces, serving as a slim console or side table when folded against a wall, or opening fully to function as a dining table paired with modern or traditional seating.

Maintain the finish by applying a quality beeswax polish along the direction of the wood grain twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent timber movement, and clean surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
