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

Art Deco wall lights from the 1930s typically feature clean geometric forms, sleek industrial materials like chrome and early plastics, and stylized shades such as flame or stepped designs.

Fixtures from this era frequently combined electroplated chrome or nickel-plated brass with bakelite, catalin, and frosted or press-moulded glass shades.

Authentic pieces often exhibit original surface patination, period-correct wiring pathways, machine-cut screws, and material characteristics distinct to early synthetic resins like Bakelite.

Art Deco sconces can be mounted in hallways, alcoves, or flanking a bathroom mirror to provide direct ambient lighting while adding architectural period character.

Chrome components should be wiped gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized metal polish, while frosted glass shades can be washed in warm soapy water once removed from electrical fittings.
