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.

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

Glass lustres are 19th-century decorative vessels designed to sit on a mantelpiece or sideboard, featured with hanging cut-crystal prisms that refract light.

These items were produced using blown cranberry or ruby glass coloured with copper or gold salts, frequently embellished with hand-applied enamel decoration and cut lead crystal drop pendants.

Authentic 19th-century pieces typically feature pontil marks on the base, subtle hand-drawn irregularities in the glass, hand-painted gilding or enamel motifs, and cut-crystal prisms suspended by wire hooks.

Position a pair symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, dining sideboard, or console table to create visual balance and allow ambient light to catch the crystal prisms.

Dust the glass surfaces gently with a soft microfibre cloth and clean crystal drops individually with lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals on hand-painted enamel and gilded details.
