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

Crystal chandeliers gained prominence in European royal courts during the 17th and 18th centuries, evolving from simple wooden frames with wooden branches to elaborate bronze and glass masterpieces designed to maximise candlelight reflection.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a cast bronze or brass frame, sometimes gilded, hung with hand-cut lead crystal pendants, beads, and prisms joined by wire pins.

Authentication involves examining the metal casting quality, checking the crystal for high lead content, hand-cut facets, and age-related wear, and inspecting the hand-wired connections or old pinning techniques.

Pairing an ornate crystal fixture with minimalist or modern architectural backdrops creates a striking contrast that highlights the craftsmanship without overwhelming the space.

Regular maintenance involves gentle dusting with a soft brush and occasional cleaning with a specialist non-conductive glass spray while the fixture is switched off and completely cool.
