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

Italian polychrome wall lights are carved timber or plaster wall sconces decorated in multiple coloured pigments and gilding, popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries across Northern Italy.

These sconces typically feature hand-carved wood or moulded gesso cores finished with tempera pigments, gold leaf, and metal branches for candle or electrical fittings.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-carved tool marks, natural gesso layering beneath paint layers, age-related craquelure, and traditional joinery on the branch attachments.

Mount them symmetrically flanking a central mirror, art piece, or architectural feature to create a balanced focal point against neutral or dark backdrop walls.

Dust gently using a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners, solvent solutions, or damp rags that can lift historic gesso and paint layers.
