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

Designed during the Georgian and early 19th-century periods, an Irish turn over leaf games table features a hinged top that unfolds to double the surface area for playing cards or board games. These tables frequently display distinct Irish carving characteristics, such as central shell motifs, deep aprons, and pronounced cabriole legs.

These tables were predominantly crafted from solid Cuban mahogany or dense timber veneers over oak carcases. Construction techniques included hand-cut dovetail joints, rear-pivoting gate-leg support mechanisms, and hand-carved decorative elements along the frieze and knees.

Authentic pieces exhibit regional Irish cabinetmaking traits, including deeply carved scallop shells on the central frieze, high-knee cabriole legs, and webbed or claw feet. Look for original brass turn-hinges, natural timber shrinkage across the top leaf, and age-appropriate wear to the frame.

Positioned against a wall with the top folded closed, the table functions as an elegant hall or console table beneath a mirror or framed artwork. When opened, it serves as a functional accent table in a living room corner, study, or home library.

Maintain the surface finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually. Keep the table away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent timber warping or veneer separation.
