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

French gilded bronze chandeliers, often associated with Louis XV, Louis XVI, and Empire periods, feature cast metal frames finished with gilding or ormolu techniques. They typically incorporate classical motifs such as urns, garlands, acanthus leaves, and decorative scroll arms.

Traditional French chandeliers were constructed using cast bronze or brass, which was chased and gilded. Component parts include turned central columns, cast scroll branches, and drip pans designed to accommodate candles or candle sleeves.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-chased surface details, visible casting marks, and natural oxidisation in recessed crevices. Solid bronze construction also provides significant weight compared to lightweight modern reproduction alloys.

A gilded bronze chandelier provides a structured focal point when hung over a dining table, in an entrance hall, or within a high-ceilinged reception room. Placing the ornate metalwork against simple neutral walls highlights its sculptural outline.

Dust the fixture regularly using a soft microfibre cloth or feather duster. Avoid abrasive polish and harsh cleaning chemicals, which can remove historical gilding, and use slightly damp cotton swabs to remove accumulated dirt in hard-to-reach areas.
