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

Emerging in the eighteenth century, Georgian card tables were designed specifically for social gaming, featuring a hinged top that opens to reveal a felt-lined playing surface or folds closed to sit flush against a wall as a side table.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany and walnut for the framework, paired with woven wool baize for the gaming area and brass for the concealed hinges and swing-leg mechanisms.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut joinery, original gate-leg or swing-leg support mechanisms, natural timber patination, and hand-carved details such as cabriole legs, acanthus leaves, or claw-and-ball feet.

Positioned against a wall when closed, a fold-over table serves as a console or side table in a hallway or living space, displaying lamps or decorative objects while remaining accessible for gaming.

Maintain the timber by applying beeswax along the grain and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources, while gently brushing the wool baize surface to remove dust without pulling the fibers.
