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

Butler trays originated in the 18th and 19th centuries as portable serving surfaces used by domestic staff to transport food and drink from the kitchens to the dining rooms or drawing rooms in large residences.

Authentic pieces are typically crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the tray corners, shaped gallery edges with hinged or cutout handles, and collapsible X-frame folding stands.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, patination, and tool marks, as older pieces exhibit natural oxidisation, hand-planed surfaces, and period-appropriate joinery rather than modern fixings or machine-sanded finishes.

A traditional tray table can function effectively as a versatile side table, a compact bar cart for glassware and decanters, or an accent piece in a living room, combining historical character with functional surface space.

Preservation requires regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth and the occasional application of traditional beeswax to nourish the wood and maintain its natural lustre, avoiding silicone-based polishes and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
