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

A torchere stand is a tall, slender pedestal originally designed to hold a candle, oil lamp, or torchere light source to illuminate a room from a high angle. During the Victorian period, these stands also evolved into decorative display pedestals for indoor plants, floral arrangements, and bronzes.

Cabinetmakers primarily used dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and walnut due to their strength and structural stability. The pieces were constructed using hand-turned central pillars and tripod bases joined with traditional mortise and tenon or dovetail techniques.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-turned columns, natural patination across the timber, and hand-carved detail on the tripod legs or knee joints. Examining the underside of the base typically reveals historic construction marks and aged wood colouration.

A tall torchere stand adds vertical variation when placed in an empty corner, window bay, or beside a fireplace alcove. Styling it with trailing house plants, modern ceramic sculpture, or an accent lamp creates an engaging focal point.

Maintain the surface by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the stand away from direct radiators and prolonged direct sunlight to protect the original finish and timber from drying out.
