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

Originating in 17th and 18th-century France, giltwood wall sconces, or appliques, feature dramatic scrollwork, acanthus foliage, classical masks, and shell motifs designed to amplify light in historic interiors.

These fixtures are typically hand-carved from timber such as lime or pine, coated in layers of gesso, and finished with water-gilding or oil-gilding using real gold leaf.

Authentic period pieces usually exhibit hand-carved tool marks, genuine wear revealing underlying red or yellow bole clay, natural surface patination, and historical wiring conversions or original candle nozzles.

Mount them flanking a large mirror, mantelpiece, or artwork to create symmetrical balance, allowing the gilded texture to contrast against contemporary or dark painted walls.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush or feather duster; avoid liquid cleaners, water, or abrasive polishes, as moisture can dissolve the underlying gesso and damage the gold leaf finish.
