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.

FAQs

Art Deco design, prominent during the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by sleek geometric forms, stylised motifs, and a blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern industrial influences.

These decorative items were typically crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak or walnut, often incorporating turned wood components, painted details, and applied metal or leather elements.

Authentication relies on examining timber grain, patination, construction joints, maker marks or stamps, and the specific material aging consistent with the early-to-mid 20th century.

These pieces function well as focal points on bookshelves, home office desks, or mantelpieces, adding character and a sense of heritage to contemporary or eclectic spaces.

Maintain wooden items by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally applying a microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber without damaging the historic finish.
