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 Victorian drop leaf occasional table is a versatile 19th-century furniture piece featuring hinged leaves that lower when not in use to conserve space. Popular during the Victorian era, these compact tables served as tea tables, writing stands, or accent surfaces in formal living spaces.

Nineteenth-century tables were commonly constructed using solid walnut frameworks veneered with highly figured burr walnut. Features often included hand-carved solid wood legs, hand-cut joinery, and brass hinges or rule joints along the hinged drop leaves.

Authentic 19th-century walnut tables display hand-carved decorative motifs, natural wood patina, and original construction marks such as hand-planed underside surfaces. Check for authentic age-related wear on the feet and natural shrinkage along the veneer joints.

Position the table folded against a sofa arm or in an entryway as a compact accent piece topped with a modern lamp or ceramic bowl. Opening the drop leaves allows it to function as a flexible drinks table or workspace when entertaining.

Position the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent heat damage or veneer movement. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year using a soft cloth along the grain, and wipe up liquids immediately.
