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

Originally developed in 17th-century France as elevated stands to hold tall candles or oil lamps, torcheres raised light sources to illuminate large rooms. By the 18th and 19th centuries, cabinetmakers produced carved timber stands to serve both light-bearing functions and display pedestals for statues and urns.

Traditional torcheres were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak. Cabinetmakers utilized hand-lathe turning for the central column, carved decorative fluting or acanthus motifs, and attached the tripod feet using dovetailed or mortise-and-tenon joints.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved details with minor irregularities, natural timber shrinkage over time, and original hand-cut joinery beneath the base. Examining the underside of the top tray and base often reveals historic tool marks and age-consistent oxidation.

A tall torchere introduces vertical structure to empty corners, window alcoves, or entryways. Styling options include placing trailing indoor foliage, a stone bust, or a decorative ceramic vase upon the dished top to contrast historic timber with modern decor.

Dust the column and carved details regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or horsehair brush. Apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally along the grain of the mahogany, and position the stand away from direct heat sources to prevent timber cracking.
