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

Louis XVI style lighting is characterised by classical symmetry, geometric restraint, fluted columns, and motifs inspired by antiquity such as acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and urns. Standard lamps in this tradition frequently feature gilded metalwork paired with marble accents.

Traditional construction typically utilised cast bronze or brass finished with fire-gilding (ormolu) to create a rich gold surface. Secondary materials often included white or veined marble inserts for integrated shelf tiers, topped with fabric or silk shades.

Authentic pieces display finely chased details, heavy cast metal bases rather than lightweight modern alloys, and natural oxidisation in deep crevices. Original fire-gilding often retains a warm, subtle lustre rather than a uniform modern paint finish.

Positioning standard lamps alongside modern upholstered seating creates a functional reading corner. The integrated marble tier provides a surface for small items, balancing elaborate historical metalwork against neutral, modern textiles.

Gilt surfaces should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Abrasive polishes, harsh solvents, and commercial brass cleaners must be avoided, as they can strip or damage original gilded layers.
