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.

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.

This 17th century English country house credence table is made from oak with a warm brown timber colour and an untouched patinated finish. The piece takes the form of a side table with a hinged fold-over top, a triangular folding top design, turned legs, and low stretcher bases. Visible details include a natural grain pattern across the wooden surfaces, visible wear marks on the edges of the top, and simple corner joints. The table measures 67 cm high, 67 cm wide, and 48 cm deep, with the top expanding to 67 by 67 cm when fully open. In a modern home, this table is suited for placement beside the front door or in a hallway as a compact surface. The folding mechanism allows the rear leg to move outwards to support the leaf, providing flexibility for smaller spaces or transitional areas. The construction sits firmly on a floor via its interconnected stretcher frame and vertical supports.

FAQs

A credence table originated as a small side table placed near a dining table or altar, historically used for preparing or serving food and holding ritual vessels in ecclesiastical and domestic settings during the 16th and 17th centuries.

17th-century furniture was predominantly constructed from native timber using mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden pegs, featuring hand-turned legs and hand-planed surfaces.

Authentic period oak features hand-hewn tool marks, minor surface irregularities, wooden peg construction, natural timber shrinkage across the grain, and deep oxidisation within recessed areas.

A period oak credence table serves as an entryway console or side table, pairing dark, patinated timber against crisp wall plaster and simple ceramic vessels.

Keep timber away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity, cleaning gently with a soft dry cloth and applying a microcrystalline or beeswax polish periodically to maintain the natural surface.
