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.
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.
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.

A converted antique oil lamp sconce is a wall-mounted lighting fixture originally manufactured to burn paraffin or oil that has subsequently been adapted with modern electrical components for safe indoor illumination.

Victorian wall lamps were predominantly constructed from cast or wrought metals, such as brass and iron, paired with mouth-blown glass chimneys and tinted or coloured glass reservoirs.

Authentic pieces feature original burner mechanisms, wick adjustment knobs, historical maker marks, and evidence of retrofitted wiring pathways added through the original oil body.

Mounting period wall sconces in hallways, staircases, or flanking a fireplace alcove introduces historic texture, rich metalwork, and ambient accent lighting to modern or traditional interiors.

Glass chimneys should be cleaned gently using a dry microfibre cloth or warm soapy water, while brass components require light dusting or specialist non-abrasive metal polish to retain patina.
