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

French polychrome wall sconces are decorative wall-mounted light fixtures originating in France, characterised by multi-coloured painted finishes applied to carved wood, gesso, or plaster, frequently displaying botanical or fruit motifs.

These fixtures were traditionally hand-carved from hardwoods such as linden, pine, or walnut, coated with a gesso primer, painted using mineral pigments, and fitted with forged iron or brass arms.

Authentic pieces display natural surface wear, craquelure within the paint layer, exposed gesso undercoats, hand-carved tool marks, and evidence of historical candle sockets or early conversion to electricity.

Designers position these fixtures in pairs to frame chimney breasts, console tables, or doorways, providing ambient side lighting and textured visual interest against neutral walls.

Preservation requires gentle dusting with a soft, dry microfibre brush. Liquid cleansers, water, and abrasives must be avoided to prevent stripping the historic pigment and gesso layers.
