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.

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

George II gaming tables, dating from around 1727 to 1760, were designed for British high societys passion for card games. They typically feature fold-over tops, slender cabriole legs terminating in pad or claw-and-ball feet, and dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany construction.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid and veneered mahogany, favoured for its rich grain, durability, and deep lustre. The interior folding mechanisms frequently utilized hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary woods, and brass gate-leg hinges.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, hand-carved cabriole shaping, and period-correct iron or brass hardware. Inspecting the underside reveals hand-planed surfaces, natural shrinkage across wood grain, and age-appropriate oxidisation of secondary timber.

When folded closed, these pieces function as elegant hallway console tables, side tables in a living room, or decorative features behind a sofa. Opened fully, they provide functional surfaces for casual dining or board games in modern spaces.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading. Preserve the original patina by dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year.
