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

Ormolu refers to gilded bronze or brass that has been finished using gold paste or electroplating techniques to create a lustrous metallic finish. Popularised in 18th and 19th-century French metalwork, this technique was frequently applied to ornate chandeliers, wall sconces, and decorative mountings.

Traditional chandeliers of this era were cast from solid brass or bronze before receiving a gilded layer. Sockets often featured faux candle sleeves constructed from rolled card, wax, or early synthetic materials to mimic natural wax candles.

Authentic pieces feature heavy cast construction, hand-chased surface details, and signs of oxidation or natural wear to the gilded layer in recessed areas. Threading on original fittings typically uses historical thread standards, and seams from casting moulds are often hand-filed.

A small gilt brass chandelier functions effectively when suspended over a formal dining table, in a compact hallway, or within a bedroom suite. Pairing gilded antique metalwork with neutral wall palettes and contemporary furniture creates a balanced, eclectic interior.

Gilt metal surfaces should be dusted regularly using a soft, dry cloth or feather duster. Abrasive polishes and chemical brass cleaners must be avoided, as they can strip the delicate gilded layer; professional rewiring is recommended prior to installation.
