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.

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

An 18th-century card table is a piece of occasional furniture designed with a hinged, folding top that opens to support card and parlour games. When folded, the semi-circular or rectangular frame allows the piece to rest flat against a wall as a console table.

These tables are traditionally constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, faced with decorative geometric parquetry and line inlays using woods like satinwood or boxwood. Construction features include hand-cut dovetail joints, gate-leg or fly-leg mechanisms, and hand-planed secondary timbers.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of hand craftsmanship, such as irregular wood shrinkage on the underside, hand-carved joinery, and natural timber oxidisation. Hardware such as hinges and leg support mechanisms typically show historical wear and square-headed cut screws or hand-forged fittings.

Positioned folded against a wall in a hallway or drawing room, the table functions as a console for displays of ceramics, lamps, or artwork. The geometric parquetry pattern adds structural visual interest that complements both traditional and contemporary schemes.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent veneer lifting or warping. Dust regularly with a clean, soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to protect the original finish.
