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

Italian polychrome wall lights are decorative wall-mounted lighting fixtures crafted in Italy, featuring hand-painted colours combined with gilded accents over carved wood or gesso composition.

These sconces were traditional carved from wood or moulded with composition plaster, sealed with gesso, painted in multiple paint pigments, and decorated using gold leaf.

Authentic pieces show evidence of hand-carved tool marks, subtle wear exposing the gesso base beneath the gilding, and historic oxidisation on metal candle arms or fittings.

Position a pair on either side of an entryway mirror, above a credenza, or within a hallway alcove to add sculptural form and balanced accent lighting.

Dust regularly using a dry artist paintbrush or soft feather duster, avoiding water or chemical cleaning solvents that dissolve delicate gesso and gilding.
