Launched in 2009, the Decorative Collective is an online marketplace for buying and selling antiques and vintage items. The owner and creator of this platform is a dealer herself, so the site is rooted in a love and appreciation for the world of antiques and the antique trade. One of the goals of the online antique store is to introduce buyers to dealers that they may never have the opportunity to purchase from in person. Dealers on the site come from all over the UK and Europe, making it so easy to shop internationally for antiques from the comfort of your sofa!
There is an incredible range of antiques listed on Decorative Collective. Under the 'Furniture' section alone, there are over 50 sub-categories to browse through, including storage chests, interior benches, industrial tables and ottomans. Under "Garden and Architecture," you can shop for birdbaths, fountains, planters, stone spheres, and stained glass, to name a few. Other categories of antiques include art, accessories, mirrors, and lighting fixtures. It is definitely possible to get lost among the wares of this online antique store. The inventory is both vast and extraordinary.
As a visitor to the Decorative Collective, it is easy and intuitive to browse the antiques for sale. If you sign up as a customer, it becomes even easier. With a customer account, you can follow your favorite dealers and receive notifications whenever they list a new item on the site. That way, you never have to worry about missing out on a coveted antique. This online marketplace also allows customers to create mood boards, a fun way to create a wish list. When shopping, buyers can communicate directly with individual sellers and negotiate prices as if they were at a flea market in person.
To join the Decorative Collective as a dealer, it is important to have enough inventory to regularly add new antiques to this online marketplace. Therefore, only professional, full-time dealers are welcome, many of whom add new antiques to this platform on a daily basis. Dealers are not charged a commission; rather, they pay a monthly membership fee to be a part of this online antique store.
The Decorative Collective works hard to ensure that the service they provide to both buyers and sellers of antiques is smooth and professional. This gives everyone using their platform confidence that the quality is high, the goods are authentic, and the transactions are secure.
