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

Originating in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, adjustable candlestands were designed to hold movable light sources prior to electrification. The Manx tripod configuration features three outward-curved legs attached to a central turned column, providing stability on uneven floors.

Authentic period examples are typically crafted from solid timbers such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, often incorporating brass bindings, threaded wooden screw mechanisms, or cast iron internal ratchets for height adjustment.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-turned components, original thread wear on the adjustment column, natural shrinkage of the wooden top across the grain, and historic patination along the base joints.

These compact pieces function well as accent tables alongside a modern armchair, providing a small surface for drinks or decorative objects while adding historic depth to modern living spaces.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually. Avoid placing the item near direct heat sources or in damp environments to prevent wood movement and joint separation.
