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

A girandole is a carved, ornamental wall sconce featuring a mirrored backplate designed to reflect candle light across a room, originating in 17th and 18th-century Europe.

Italian polychrome girandoles are crafted from carved wood, treated with gesso, painted with layered tempera pigments, and decorated with water gilding alongside mirrored glass plates.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved asymmetry, natural distressing or craquelure in the painted finish, mercury or silvered mirror glass, and signs of hand-forged metal fittings.

Mount them as flanking accent lights beside a hallway console, above a mantelpiece, or framing an architectural entryway to add texture and reflective light.

Dust delicately using a dry, soft-bristle brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or chemical polishes on painted and gilded surfaces to preserve the historic patina.
