Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

FAQs

A drapers table was originally constructed for dry goods merchants and textile shops in 18th and 19th century France. The long, flat wooden surface allowed shopkeepers to unroll, measure, and cut bolts of fabric, while the lower shelf provided storage for additional cloth rolls.

These tables were typically crafted from solid European hardwoods or softwoods such as oak, pine, or fruitwood. Construction techniques featured hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, turned support legs, and often a painted lower frame paired with a unpainted or scrubbed timber top.

Authentic pieces generally show specific wear patterns along the top edges from constant fabric measurements, historical pegging at the joints, and uneven wear on the lower shelf. Original painted finishes often exhibit natural distressing, layer accumulation, and craquelure consistent with age.

A drapers table functions effectively as a kitchen island, a long hallway console table, or a dining room sideboard. The lower shelf offers open space for displaying earthenware, baskets, or stacked linens, bridging utilitarian function with rustic interior aesthetics.

Clean the painted frame using a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp microfibre rag without abrasive chemicals. For the unvarnished wooden top, apply a neutral beeswax paste periodically to protect the timber fibres while preserving the natural patination.
