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.

Originating in late eighteenth-century Britain during the reign of King George III, a breakfast table is a versatile table designed with a central pedestal and a tilt-top mechanism to allow space-saving storage when not in use.

These tables were constructed primarily from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, supported by turned central pillars, reeded legs, and cast brass paw feet or castors.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the under-framing, period-correct brass tilt-catch mechanisms, natural timber oxidation, and aged brass castors.

A Georgian pedestal table works effectively as a dining table paired with contemporary chairs, or as a focal centrepiece table positioned in a grand entrance hall.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth, apply natural beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent timber movement.
