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

French ceiling lanterns traditionally feature architectural metal frames enclosing glazed panels, inspired by 18th and 19th-century street and vestibule lighting. They often combine classical proportions with decorative brass or steel fittings and internal candle-style bulb holders.

Traditional French hanging lanterns are crafted using metals such as brass, steel, wrought iron, or copper, paired with clear or bevelled glass panels. The frames are often finished with polished, silvered, or patinated surfaces.

Authentic pieces often show hand-assembled joinery, original suspension rings, and age-consistent surface wear on the metalwork. Older examples may also feature original internal candle fitments later converted for modern electrical wiring.

Hanging lanterns are frequently placed in entrance hallways, stairwells, or over kitchen islands to provide structured task and ambient lighting. Their architectural metalwork allows them to complement both traditional and modern schemes.

Glass panels should be cleaned using a soft microfiber cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Metal surfaces benefit from gentle dusting, while unlacquered brass or steel can be preserved with specialised metal polishes applied sparingly.
