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.

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.

Tilt-top tripod tables emerged in Britain during the early eighteenth century as versatile social furniture for serving tea. The mechanism allowed the top to flip vertically, enabling the table to be moved to the perimeter of a room when not in use.

High-grade dense mahogany was the predominant timber used due to its stability, fine grain, and ability to hold intricate carving. The catch mechanisms beneath the tabletop were typically crafted from solid brass or wrought iron.

Authentic period examples feature handmade iron or brass release latches, hand-carved dovetail joints securing the legs to the central column, and natural asymmetrical shrinkage in the circular top caused by wood aging over decades.

Position the table beside an armchair or sofa as an elegant side table, or set it in a room corner with the top tilted upward to display its rich timber grain and carved moulding as decorative background art.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the patina. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping or surface fading.
