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 birdcage chandelier features an open central bronze or brass frame shaped like a cage, leaving the interior space open while displaying faceted crystal droplets and scrolling candle arms on the exterior structure.

Traditional 19th-century French chandeliers were constructed using cast bronze or brass, finished with fire-gilding or mercury-gilding (ormolu), and adorned with hand-cut lead crystal droplets and glass pendants.

Authentic antique French chandeliers feature heavy cast bronze frames with detailed chased ornamentation, hand-cut crystals with natural minor irregularities, and original threaded pin attachments or iron wiring inside the frame.

These lighting fixtures work well suspended above formal dining tables, within high-ceiling entrance foyers, or contrasting against minimal modern plasterwork in contemporary living spaces.

Clean the crystal droplets individually using a diluted isopropyl alcohol solution and a lint-free microfibre cloth, ensuring liquid does not contact the gilded bronze surface, which should only be dusted with a soft dry brush.
