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 tent and bag chandelier is a Neoclassical lighting design featuring an upper cone (tent) of beaded crystal strands tapering upwards to a top crown, suspended above a rounded lower basket (bag) of crystals framed by a cast metal ring.

Traditional French chandeliers from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were constructed using mercury-gilded bronze (ormolu) or brass frames, accented with hand-cut lead crystal or glass octagonal beads and faceted drop prisms.

Authentic period examples exhibit heavy cast bronze components with hand-chased details, visible pin wiring securing individual crystal beads, and natural oxidisation on un-gilded reverse surfaces.

A large antique chandelier can be suspended above a dining table or in a high-ceilinged entrance hall to create visual contrast against neutral walls and modern minimalist furnishings.

Dust the fixture regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For deeper cleaning, wipe individual crystal prisms with a solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water while ensuring moisture does not contact the internal electrical wiring or metal framework.
