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

During the 18th century, Italian craftsmen created decorative lighting fixtures using hand-carved wood covered in layers of gesso and gold leaf gilding, often featuring dramatic scrolls, urn forms, and acanthus motifs inspired by Baroque and Rococo architecture.

Artisans typically used softwoods such as pine or poplar for the hand-carved core, which was coated with multiple layers of gesso ground and red clay bole before applying real gold leaf, often completed with iron candle nozzles.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved structural irregularities, visible red clay bole beneath worn gold leaf, hand-forged iron armatures, and subtle shrinkage lines at the timber joints alongside natural surface oxidisation.

A pair of giltwood candelabra can be displayed symmetrically on a dining table, marble mantelpiece, or side cabinet to introduce texture, metallic warmth, and historical contrast against modern wall treatments.

Giltwood surfaces should only be dusted gently using a dry, soft camel-hair brush, strictly avoiding water, liquid cleaners, and physical friction which can dissolve or wear away the delicate gesso and gold leaf layers.
