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

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

Protect the timber with microcrystalline wax applied sparingly, and clean the marble top using a damp cloth with neutral soap, avoiding acidic cleaning agents that etch the stone surface.

This piece works effectively as a bedside table or next to a living room sofa, styled simply with a minimalist lamp or a ceramic vase to contrast the classical ornamentation.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the joinery, the ageing of the timber and metal hardware, hand-cut screws, and the natural variations and hand-polishing of the inset marble slab.

Authentic pieces typically feature a solid timber frame such as mahogany or walnut, embellished with marquetry or parquetry, cast gilt-bronze or brass ormolu mounts, and a fitted inset marble top.

French occasional tables, often referred to as gueridons, gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries in Parisian salons, prized for their portability and refined aesthetic.
