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

Mid-18th-century card tables typically feature a fold-over top supported by a gate-leg or rear swing-leg mechanism, cabriole legs, and a fitted frieze drawer. Designed during the Georgian period, they served as both functional gaming surfaces when opened and decorative wall tables when closed.

Georgian card tables were primarily constructed from dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany, valued for its grain stability and rich colour. Secondary woods such as oak or pine were used for drawer linings and internal framing, alongside solid brass hardware.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-planed surfaces, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, and natural shrinkage across the wood grain over time. Cast brass fittings from this era display slight surface irregularities and original hand-chased details.

When closed, a card table functions as a console or side table positioned against a wall or behind a sofa. Styled with contemporary ceramics, a modern table lamp, or framed artwork, it creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern decor.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and applying a pure beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the table away from direct heat sources, radiators, and prolonged sunlight to prevent timber movement and finish deterioration.
