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.

This George II games table adopts an 18th-century Irish design, formed with a dark brown mahogany timber that displays a warm grain. The demi-lune fold-over top opens above a curving frieze and is supported by four cabriole legs. Prominent features include carved shell motifs adorning the knees, terminating in pad feet. The wood shows visible surface variations and gentle wear along the edges, consistent with age and regular use over generations. Measuring 74 cm high, 80 cm wide, and 40 cm deep, the table provides a practical surface area for domestic settings. Positioned in an entrance hall beside the front door or in a living room as a decorative console, the piece functions effectively as a side table or occasional desk when closed. The restrained colour and classical carved details allow the table to integrate easily into traditional English country house interiors or contemporary spaces requiring an antique focal point.

FAQs

A George II demi-lune games table typically features a semi-circular hinged top that opens to reveal a full playing surface, supported by gracefully curved cabriole legs often detailed with carved motifs such as shells or acanthus leaves.

Tables from this period were predominantly crafted from solid dense mahogany, frequently utilising oak or pine as secondary internal woods for frames and drawer linings, with hand-forged iron or brass hinges.

Authentic Irish Georgian pieces often feature distinct carvings such as exaggerated scallop shells, lion mask knees, or trifid feet, along with the heavy, dark mahogany timber historically imported into Irish ports during the 18th century.

When folded closed, a demi-lune games table serves as a hallway console or entryway accent, providing a surface for a decorative table lamp, tray, or floral arrangement to contrast against contemporary backdrops.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying or discolouration.
