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 Rococo style wall lights, which gained prominence during the 18th century, feature asymmetrical scrollwork, acanthus leaf motifs, and fluid organic curves. They were originally designed to diffuse candlelight across mirrored panels and formal reception rooms.

Traditional French sconces are constructed from cast bronze or brass, frequently finished with fire gilding (ormolu) or chemical patination. The castings are chased by hand to produce deep surface texture and crisp architectural detail.

Authentic period pieces exhibit heavy weight due to solid bronze construction, along with hand-chased surface details, hand-threaded screws, and natural oxidisation within deep recesses. Foundry marks or numerical stamps on the rear casting also indicate age.

Mount these sconces alongside contemporary artwork or position them to flank a minimalist wall mirror above a modern credenza for visual contrast. Wiring them with low-wattage LED candles maintains atmospheric illumination within clean modern spaces.

Dust the metalwork regularly using a dry microfibre cloth or soft bristle brush. Avoid abrasive polishes, harsh solvents, or water, as these can strip delicate gilding and accelerate surface tarnish.
