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.

An 18th century French provincial console and prep table is rendered in warm brown chestnut with a rustic farmhouse design. The rectangular plank top sits above a deep apron fitted with two front drawers, accessorised with brass drop handles and square tapered legs. The timber displays a natural patina with visible historic woodworm marks and a small hole in one drawer front. Standing 78 cm high, 200 cm wide and 75.5 cm deep, this piece provides practical surface space. Positioned beside the front door, the table functions well as a welcoming hallway console for keys and post, or serves as a prep surface in a kitchen or dining space. The sturdy construction and classic proportions suit traditional and transitional interiors alike, bringing a functional antique element to daily routines.

FAQs

A French provincial prep table is a utilitarian worktable historically crafted for countryside kitchens and utility rooms to assist in food preparation and everyday household tasks.

These tables were typically constructed from locally sourced European hardwoods, including chestnut, oak, walnut, and fruitwoods, fitted with hand-forged iron or brass hardware.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-planed surfaces, natural shrinkage, and historical wear consistent with functional usage.

A prep table can serve as an entryway console, a sofa table, or a freestanding kitchen island, pairing rustic wood textures with modern architectural elements.

Chestnut furniture should be cleaned with a soft dry cloth and treated periodically with a natural beeswax polish while keeping it away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
