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

Arts and Crafts refectory tables prioritise clear structural honesty, solid timber construction, and subtle hand-carved architectural details such as Gothic arches or chamfered edges, moving away from excessive Victorian ornamentation.

These tables are traditionally constructed from European oak using pegged mortise and tenon joints, featuring heavy trestle end supports connected by a load-bearing stretcher rail.

Authentic pieces exhibit visible hand-planing marks, quarter-sawn oak grain patterns, structural pegging, and balanced architectural proportions typical of turn-of-the-century designer-architects.

Contrast the solid wood texture by surrounding the table with contemporary slender dining chairs, placing modern pendant lighting overhead, or integrating minimalist tableware to highlight the timber grain.

Maintain the finish by applying high-grade beeswax polish along the grain twice yearly, wiping spills immediately, and keeping the table away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
