Archival Detail
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 George IV patent action dining table dates from the 1820s and features a mechanical extension framework, such as telescopic runners, designed to expand the tabletop to accommodate additional inserted leaves.

These tables were typically crafted from solid mahogany or walnut, featuring brass mechanisms, hinges, clips, and brass castors attached to turned or reeded wooden legs.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate construction details, including hand-cut dovetails, original brass castors, reeded turned legs, and stamped mechanical runners from historic patent holders.

An antique extending dining table can be placed as a centrepiece in a dining room, paired with contemporary seating or traditional mahogany chairs to contrast classic woodwork with modern accents.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually, while avoiding direct heat sources and keeping brass mechanisms clean and lubricated.
