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.

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

A George III concertina action card table is an 18th-century British gaming table featuring a hinged top and an expanding frame mechanism that unfolds to support the opened surface evenly.

These tables were primarily constructed using dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany, featuring flame veneers, oak or pine secondary woods, and brass hinges or concertina joints.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetails, original concertina wooden hinges, hand-carved details along the frieze or legs, and natural wear patterns beneath the frame.

Position the folded table against a wall as a console, topped with a contemporary table lamp, ceramic vase, or framed artwork to create a balanced focal point.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and radiators.
