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

Polychrome wall sconces are wall-mounted light fixtures constructed from wood or plaster and decorated in multiple painted colours or gilding, a technique widely used in French decorative arts during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These sconces were predominantly hand-carved from native hardwoods such as lime or pine, coated with a preparatory gesso layer, and finished using tempera paints, pigment washes, or gold leaf applications.

Authentic antique examples display subtle asymmetry from hand-carving, natural wear or fine crazing within the gesso layer, historic pigment oxidisation, and evidence of conversion from candle sockets to electrical wiring.

Positioning carved wooden sconces above a sideboard, flanking a mirror, or mounting them along a hallway introduces architectural relief and accent lighting to contemporary interior schemes.

Dust polychrome surfaces lightly using a dry, soft-bristled brush to avoid damaging delicate painted or gesso layers, avoid liquid cleaners entirely, and ensure internal wiring is periodically inspected by a qualified electrician.
