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

Originating in early nineteenth-century France under Napoleon Bonaparte, French Empire chandeliers draw inspiration from Roman and Greek antiquity, featuring symmetrical forms, dark patinated bronze, and elaborate gilt-bronze accents.

These lighting fixtures typically combine cast gilt bronze (ormolu) with dark patinated metal or brass, often incorporating heavy chains, cast sconce arms, and detailed architectural mounts.

Authentic pieces display hand-chased gilding, precise casting seams, original threaded assembly components, and natural surface patination around working joints and sconce nozzle centres.

Position the light fixture as a focal point above a dining table or within an entrance hall, pairing dark patinated surfaces with neutral wall tones to highlight the gilt metalwork.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners or water that could strip original gilding or lacquer coatings.
