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

Egyptian Revival furniture from the 1920s emerged following the discovery of Tutankhamuns tomb in 1922. The style combines traditional Art Deco geometric silhouettes with ancient Egyptian architectural motifs, such as carved figures, winged discs, and fluted cornices.

These pieces frequently feature dark hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, constructed with flame veneer panels, gilt metal mounts, ebonised figural carvings, and glass display panels.

Authentic pieces exhibit construction methods typical of the early 20th century, including hand-dovetailed drawer joints, period-correct glass, hand-applied gilded embellishments, and natural patination across timber and metal fittings.

Position the cabinet as a statement piece against a neutral wall to highlight its dramatic silhouette and figural carvings. It functions effectively as a showcase for ceramics, glassware, or curated objects in a living room, dining space, or study.

Dust wood surfaces regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and apply high-quality beeswax paste periodically along the timber grain. Clean glass panels using a mild glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth to prevent liquid from seeping into surrounding wooden frames.
