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.

Cloisonne enamel is an ancient metalworking technique where thin metallic strips are applied to a metal base to create compartments, which are then filled with vitreous enamel paste and fired. Vase lamps of this style were widely produced in China during the late Qing Dynasty and Early Republic period, frequently adapted or created for Western export.

These lamps typically feature a copper or brass body fitted with fine copper wire detailing forming intricate patterns. The cells are filled with coloured enamel pastes, fired at high temperatures, polished smooth, and paired with gilt metal mounts and electrical fittings.

Authentic pieces from the early 20th century typically show minor hand-crafted irregularities, fine wire work, traditional polychrome palettes, and natural oxidisation on the exposed bronze or brass mounts. Later mass-produced reproductions often exhibit thicker wires and synthetic resin fills.

A symmetrical pair of cloisonne vase lamps works effectively positioned on a living room sideboard, console table, or wide mantelpiece, offering visual balance while incorporating colour and pattern into traditional or eclectic interior schemes.

Dust the enamel surfaces regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the enamel or gilded metal mounts. Ensure all electrical wiring is inspected by a qualified electrician before use.
