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 Chippendale period breakfast table, popularised during the mid-to-late 18th century, typically features hinged drop leaves, a shallow frieze drawer, and a enclosed cupboard or shelf below, often detailed with fretwork or wire mesh.

Georgian cabinetmakers favoured high-grade West Indian mahogany prized for its rich grain and stability, often pairing it with hand-cast brass hardware, hand-cut dovetail joints, and decorative elements like wire lattice or blind fretwork.

Authentic pieces display period construction techniques, including hand-sawn timber marks, original brass escutcheons or swan-neck handles, oak or pine secondary drawer linings, and natural age-related oxidisation on the timber underside.

This versatile form works effectively as a sophisticated side table, sofa end table, or bedside nightstand, where the deep mahogany tones contrast with modern neutral textiles and clean architectural lines.

Preserve the original finish by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or uneven fading.
