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 Art Deco compactum wardrobe dates from 1930 and follows the distinctive geometric lines of the period. The exterior displays highly figured burr walnut veneer in warm brown tones, complemented by rich walnut banding, crossbanded borders, and rounded corners leading up to a stepped cornice top. Two central doors carry small dark circular bakelite handles, and the entire structure stands at 191.5 cm high, 127 cm wide, and 59 cm deep with a polished finish throughout. Inside, the fitted interior includes the original hanging rail, hangers, shelving, drawers, and compartments, providing substantial storage capacity with a working lock and key. The cabinet separates into four main sections for transport and reassembly. In a contemporary interior, this functional storage piece suits bedrooms, dressing rooms, or large hallways, providing a prominent focal point that integrates smoothly into traditional or modern decorative schemes.

FAQs

Art Deco wardrobes are characterised by geometric silhouettes, streamlined rounded edges, and prominent timber veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or birds-eye maple, reflecting early 20th-century design movements.

These wardrobes typically feature solid wood frames faced with highly figured veneers like burr walnut, accompanied by Bakelite, brass, or chrome handles, and internal oak or mahogany fittings.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut joinery, book-matched veneer pattern placement, early plastic or metal hardware, and internal fitted compartments or original metal hanging rails specific to the 1920s to 1940s.

Pair the warmth of burr walnut with neutral wall tones, metallic light fixtures, and contemporary textiles to balance the structured silhouette of the timber cabinet.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying or veneer lifting, and dust regularly with a soft cloth while applying beeswax twice yearly.
