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

Florentine giltwood lighting originates from Florence, Italy, characterised by elaborate hand-carved wood decorated with silver or gold leaf application, featuring dynamic acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and Rococo-inspired motifs.

These fixtures are crafted from carved softwoods such as pine or lime, coated with a clay gesso base, and finished with leaf gilding that is often burnished or aged to create visual depth.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved tool marks on the reverse wood backing, natural micro-cracking in the gesso layer, subtle surface wear revealing the underlying clay bole, and period-appropriate wiring or metal candle nozzles.

Position a pair flanking a focal mirror, artwork, or architectural recess to introduce sculptural relief and balance minimalist interior elements with historic carved texture.

Dust carefully using a dry, soft-bristled artist brush or feather duster; water and liquid polishing agents must be avoided as they dissolve the water-bound gesso foundation and strip the metal leafing.
