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 III card table is an 18th-century piece of furniture designed with a hinged fold-over top. When closed, it forms a semi-circular demilune profile suitable for placement against a wall, and when unfolded, it creates a full playing surface.

These tables were primarily constructed using solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, frequently accented with marquetry inlays such as satinwood, boxwood, or rosewood, supported by solid oak or pine secondary timbers.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-cut joinery, square tapered legs, brass fold hinges, and a gate-leg or swing-leg mechanism to support the opened top. Natural wood shrinkage and irregular patina on unexposed surfaces also signal age.

When closed, the table operates as an entryway console or hallway side table. It can be paired with a wall mirror or artwork above, functioning as both decorative surface storage and an adaptable table when opened.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent warping and fading. Apply a natural beeswax polish periodically along the direction of the grain to protect the finish.
