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

The tradition of mounting Chinese porcelain vases as lamps gained immense popularity in Western interiors during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Vessels were retrofitted with brass mounts and electrical components to combine functional illumination with classic Asian decorative art.

These pieces were constructed from fine kaolin porcelain clay and painted with cobalt oxide pigment before receiving a clear protective glaze. Subsequent high-temperature firing locked in the characteristic blue motifs against the light ceramic ground.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-painted brushwork with variations in cobalt depth, natural firing imperfections, and historical signs of conversion such as base drilling or period cast-metal mountings.

Place the lamp on a dark wood sideboard or side table to highlight the contrast of the porcelain glaze. Pair with a tailored pleated shade to bridge traditional heritage decoration with modern room arrangements.

Dust the porcelain body using a dry microfibre cloth and avoid moisture near electrical components or metal bases. Wiring should be routinely checked and updated by a certified electrician to ensure safety.
