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

Originating in 18th and 19th-century British households, butlers trays were designed for domestic staff to transport tea, drinks, or light meals from service areas to main reception rooms. The deep gallery edges prevented items from slipping, while the separate folding stand allowed for versatile temporary placement.

These pieces were primarily constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, selected for durability and stability. The trays typically featured dovetailed corners, raised gallery sides with hand-cut cutouts for grips, and wooden X-frame stands connected with webbing or metal hinges.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery such as dovetails, subtle irregular wear on the base of the tray where it sits on the stand, and hand-carved cut-out handles. Additionally, genuine pieces often retain original brass webbing fittings or patinated metal hardware on the folding stand mechanism.

A tray table functions effectively as an occasional side table beside a armchair, a portable home bar setup in a dining room, or a bedside stand in a guest bedroom. The lift-off tray top can also be placed directly on an ottoman or sideboard for serving.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically along the grain. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, and protect the finished wood surface from liquid spills or heat using coasters.
