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 lighting, originating during the reign of Louis XV in the 18th century, is characterised by asymmetrical natural forms, elaborate C-scrolls, S-scrolls, and detailed acanthus leaf motifs crafted in gilded bronze or brass.

Historically, high-end French sconces were cast in bronze and finished using mercury gilding (ormolu), while later period-style examples utilised cast brass or gilded spelter with cold-painted or electroplated gold finishes.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-chasing, heavy casting weight, threaded assembly components, and natural wear or oxidisation in the recesses of the gilding, rather than uniform modern electroplating.

Pairing ornate gilded sconces with simple modern wall finishes, structural architectural mouldings, or hanging them alongside contemporary art creates a balanced contrast between traditional craftsmanship and modern minimalism.

Dust the metal surfaces regularly with a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid water, abrasive powders, and chemical metal polishes, as these can strip original gilding and historic patina.
