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.
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.
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.

Mandarin vase lamps are decorative lighting fixtures crafted from 18th-century Chinese export porcelain vases depicting figures in traditional courtly or domestic settings, fitted with European gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts and electrical components.

These lamps typically consist of hand-painted Chinese hard-paste porcelain, cast and chased gilt-bronze (ormolu) bases and handles, alongside fabric or pleated silk lampshades.

Authentic pieces feature detailed overglaze enamel painting in the Mandarin palette, heavy fire-gilded bronze mounts with hand-chased detailing, and evidence of historic adaptation for lighting.

Position the lamps symmetrically on a sideboard, console table, or pair of bedside tables to create balance and introduce historic detail to a interior design scheme.

Dust the porcelain body and gilt mounts regularly with a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoiding chemical solvents or abrasive polish that could strip the gilded surface or enamel.
