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

Art Deco tea caddies from the 1930s typically feature geometric motifs, bold contrasting wood veneers, and streamlined shapes reflecting the modernist design aesthetic of the era.

Craftsmen used exotic hardwoods such as Macassar ebony, rosewood, walnut, and satinwood, combining light and dark timbers to create contrasting inlaid geometric patterns.

Authentic 1930s pieces showcase hand-fitted marquetry or parquetry work, period-appropriate brass hardware, lock mechanisms, and natural patination consistent with age.

An Art Deco tea caddy functions well as a decorative accent on a sideboard, desk, or bookshelf, bringing geometric interest and timber texture to modern or classic spaces.

Keep the box away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly.
