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

French Rococo gilt bronze sconces are decorative wall-mounted light fixtures originating in the eighteenth century, characterised by asymmetrical scrollwork, acanthus leaf motifs, and cast bronze finished with gold gilding or ormolu.

These fixtures were typically cast in bronze or brass using lost-wax or sand-casting methods, followed by hand-chasing to refine surface details and fire-gilding to apply a gold layer.

Authentic pieces display hand-chased details, casting marks on the reverse, original threaded assembly rods, and natural oxidisation or gentle wear on the gilding in recessed areas.

Designers position them in pairs flanking a fireplace alcove, artwork, or mirror, wiring them for low-wattage accent lighting to create ambient contrast against contemporary wall finishes.

Dust regularly with a soft dry brush and avoid chemical polishes or liquid cleaners, which can strip delicate gold gilding and historic patination from the bronze base.
