Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

A George II card table typically dates from the mid-18th century, featuring a hinged folding top, an underlying frieze often housing a small drawer, and carved cabriole legs terminating in pad or claw-and-ball feet.

Dense mahogany was the primary timber used, valued for its strength, rich colour, and fine grain, frequently paired with oak or pine secondary woods for drawer linings and internal framing.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved decoration on the knees and feet, original oak or pine secondary timber, hand-cut dovetail joints, and characteristic timber shrinkage along the grain over time.

Position the table folded against a wall as an entrance hall console or side table, pairing it with contemporary artwork, modern table lamps, or ceramic vessels to create balance.

Keep the table away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping or fading, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply beeswax once or twice annually.
