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 French wall applique, or sconce, is a decorative light fixture mounted directly to a wall surface, historically designed to hold candles or modern electrical fittings. Popularised during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in France, these fixtures were crafted to reflect ambient light across grand reception rooms.

French period wall lights were predominantly cast in solid brass or bronze, often featuring chiseled surface details and gilded or patinated finishes. Construction involved cast candle arms, leaf motifs, and decorative backplates created through traditional metal-casting techniques.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-chiselling, minor casting variations, and natural oxidisation within recessed areas. Examination reveals original mounting hardware, hand-cut threads on fittings, and heavy solid cast metal construction rather than modern lightweight alloys.

Position a pair on either side of a chimneypiece, bathroom mirror, or sideboard to create symmetrical visual balance. The warm metallic finish creates contrast against dark painted walls or neutral lime-wash finishes.

Dust the fixtures regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove surface accumulation. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive metal polishes, which strip historical patination and original protective lacquers.
