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 lights feature decorative painted finishes across multiple colours or layered tones, often incorporating neoclassical motifs such as tassels, urns, and acanthus leaves popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Traditional French wall sconces were constructed from carved wood, cast bronze, wrought iron, or composite gesso applied over metal frames, finished with hand-painted polychrome or gilded surface treatments.

Authentic vintage and antique wall sconces display evidence of hand-carving or hand-casting, slight asymmetrical variations across pairs, original candle drips or historical conversion wiring, and natural surface wear on painted areas.

Position twin arm wall sconces in pairs flanking a mantelpiece, bathroom mirror, or sideboard to create balanced vertical lighting, framing central art or architectural focal features in traditional or transitional interiors.

Clean polychrome finishes using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners, solvent solutions, or abrasive materials that could erode original painted layers.
