After the clearance of the tomb had been completed in 1932 Carter retired from excavation work. He continued to live in his house near Luxor in winter and retained a flat in London but, as interest in Tutankhamun declined, he lived a fairly isolated existence with few close friends.{{sfn|Winstone|2006|pp=322–325}}

He had acted as a part-time dealer for both collectors and museums for a number of years.{{sfn|Winstone|2006|p=133}} He continued in this role, including acting for the [[Cleveland Museum of Art]] and the [[Detroit Institute of Arts]].
