Frequently Asked Questions

1. What kind of furniture do you sell?

We specialise in vintage and designer furniture from the 20th and 21st centuries — mostly European, with a focus on iconic, architecturally significant pieces. You'll find everything from mid-century classics to rare postmodern and contemporary design.

2. Is all your furniture original or do you sell reproductions?

All our pieces are authentic. We do not deal in replicas or reproductions — every item is either vintage, antique, or a contemporary original by a known designer or studio.

3. Where are you located?

Our showroom is located at 558 Crown Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, right in the heart of Sydney’s design district.

4. Do you ship Australia-wide?

Yes, we can arrange delivery across Australia via trusted specialist furniture couriers. Shipping rates depend on size, location, and urgency — contact us for a quote.

5. Can I view a piece in person before buying?

Absolutely. We encourage in-person visits to experience the quality, scale, and patina of our pieces. Appointments are recommended for one-on-one attention, but walk-ins are welcome during open hours.

6. Do you offer returns?

As a policy, all sales are final due to the nature of vintage and consigned items. We’re happy to provide detailed condition reports and additional photos prior to purchase to ensure your confidence.

7. Do you consign furniture?

Yes. We accept select designer or vintage pieces on consignment under agreed terms. To enquire, please email photos, dimensions, and provenance (if known) to info@alphamodern.com.au.

8. Do you offer trade pricing or discounts to designers?

We support the design community and offer trade pricing on a case-by-case basis for stylists, architects, and interior designers. Contact us to register your studio.

9. Can you source specific items?

Yes, we offer sourcing services for clients seeking particular designers, styles, or pieces. Let us know what you're after and we’ll keep an eye out through our network.

10. Do you restore or reupholster furniture?

We work with local craftspeople and can coordinate restoration or reupholstery for select pieces in our collection. Costs and timelines vary — just ask.
