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

Produced during the reign of King George IV (18201830), fold-over card tables were designed for drawing rooms where card games such as whist were popular. These tables features a hinged top that swivels ninety degrees to reveal a playing surface, functioning as a wall console table when closed.

Furniture makers of this period primarily utilised highly figured rosewood or mahogany veneers over solid timber frameworks. Bases often featured carved pedestal columns, quadripartite legs, and brass paw castors.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved details such as gadrooning or acanthus leaf motifs, original brass swivel mechanisms beneath the top, and age-related wear to the original baize playing surface. Construction features hand-cut dovetail joints within the internal storage compartment.

Position the table against a wall in an entryway or living room as a decorative console table when closed. Alternatively, place it behind a freestanding sofa or open the top to create an accent display surface for books and ceramics.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to avoid veneer cracking and fading. Apply high-grade beeswax paste sparingly along the grain using a soft cotton cloth to preserve the natural finish.
