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.

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

Figural light fittings featuring winged cherubs or putti became highly popular during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, drawing heavily on French Rococo and Baroque artistic movements. These designs integrated classical motifs into practical domestic illumination, bridging fine sculpture with functional decorative arts.

These fixtures are typically constructed from cast brass, bronze, or spelter, often finished with gold gilding or lacquer. The shades are commonly crafted from pressed or hand-blown glass, featuring geometric or botanical surface patterns.

Authentic period fixtures display casting seams, hand-chased details, and natural oxidisation in recessed areas of the metalwork. Older glass shades generally exhibit subtle hand-finishing marks, varying thickness, or minor air bubbles beneath the surface.

Gilt metal sconces create visual contrast when mounted against modern matte wall surfaces or dark wood panelling. They function well in hallways, dining areas, or alcoves to provide warm accent lighting and architectural character.

Dust metal surfaces gently using a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth to avoid stripping aged gilding. Glass shades can be detached and washed in lukewarm water with mild soap, ensuring they are fully dry before reassembly.
