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.

This George III Sheraton period sewing table is made of warm brown satinwood, boxwood, ebony, and purple heart. The rectangular top has purple heart cross banding and a hinged drop leaf at the back, paired with another drop leaf at the side, above three stacked drawers fitted with round white bone knobs and brass keyholes with inlaid stringing. The base has four slender square tapered legs terminating in brass cup castors. The table measures 73.5 cm high, 47 cm wide, and 35.5 cm deep, reaching 59.5 cm in maximum depth when the flap is up. In a modern interior, this practical antique piece serves well at the end of a sofa in a living room, study, or drawing room. The compact proportions provide surface space for a lamp or books while offering storage within the drawers for small items. The refined proportions and classic Georgian silhouette suit traditional and transitional country house rooms, functioning as a side table next to seating or in a corner.

FAQs

Originating in late 18th-century Britain, a George III sewing table, or work table, is a compact piece of occasional furniture designed specifically for needlework and textile crafts, often featuring small drawers and hinged side leaves.

These pieces were typically crafted using exotic veneers such as satinwood, mahogany, and rosewood, supported by solid hardwood frames with brass castors and turned bone or brass hardware.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary woods, original brass castors with period wear, and fine crossbanded veneer edge details.

Its compact dimensions make it suitable for use as an occasional side table beside an armchair, a bedside nightstand, or an accent piece in a hallway.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish sparingly twice a year, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lifting.
