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

Introduced in the mid-to-late 19th century, a Duplex oil lamp features a twin-wick burner mechanism designed to produce a broader, brighter flame than single-wick predecessors. These lamps served as primary domestic light sources throughout the late Victorian era prior to widespread electrification.

Victorian oil lamps were constructed using cast or pressed brass burners, cut or moulded glass oil reservoirs, clear or etched glass chimneys, and bases formed from brass, silver plate, or cast metal.

Authentic pieces generally feature dual wicks controlled by ceramic winder buttons marked Duplex, alongside heavy cast brass mechanisms, hand-finished glass components, and natural signs of wear or oxidisation to metal surfaces.

Position the lamp as a decorative accent on a sideboard, fireplace mantelpiece, or console table within traditional or eclectic interior schemes. Pairing historical lighting with contemporary surfaces creates a balanced visual contrast.

Clean glass components using soft cloths and mild glass cleaner, taking care around hand-painted enamelling. Dust metal columns and bases gently without harsh abrasive polishes that could strip original plating or patination.
