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 furniture from the 1930s is characterised by geometric forms, clean lines, and lavish natural wood veneers such as burr walnut. Pieces frequently feature contrasting ebonised bases, streamlined handles made of early plastics or chromed metal, and balanced, functional proportions.

Compactums from this era were primarily constructed using solid timber frameworks overlaid with high-grade figured wood veneers, such as burr walnut, mahogany, or oak. Hardware typically consisted of Bakelite, phenolic resins, brass, or chrome-plated handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit book-matched timber veneers, original Bakelite or metal hardware, and period-specific internal fittings such as sliding hanging rails or labeled shelving. Construction methods often include dovetail drawer joints and solid plinth or bracket feet.

A walnut compactum serves as a strong focal point in a master bedroom, guest room, or hallway. Its rich timber tones pair well with neutral plaster walls, contemporary brass accents, or muted textiles to create a balanced, layered decor scheme.

Burr walnut veneer should be kept away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent cracking or fading. Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the timber finish.
