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.

FAQs

A torchere is a tall, slender stand historically designed to support a candle or oil lamp to illuminate a room, evolving later into pedestals for decorative urns, sculptures, and plants.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like solid mahogany, often featuring hand-carved detailing, turned central columns, and tripod or circular base supports joined with traditional cabinetmaking methods.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, verifying hand-carving inconsistencies typical of the period, checking for appropriate patination and age-related wear, and inspecting historical joinery methods.

Antique torcheres add verticality and classical proportion to modern spaces, serving as stands for trailing houseplants, modern sculptures, or ceramic vessels to create architectural interest in empty corners.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth.
