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

Florentine giltwood wall lights are defined by their elaborate, hand-carved wooden frames, typically featuring fluid Rococo scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and floral motifs. Originating in Florence, Italy, these fixtures are finished with gold or silver leafing over a prepared gesso layer to create a reflective, sculptural accent.

Traditional silver giltwood sconces are constructed from hand-carved timber, often lime or pine, coated in gesso and clay bole. Thin sheets of silver leaf are applied to the surface and burnished, while the candle arms are typically forged from metal wire or carved wood to support the candle nozzles.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-tooling on the carved reverse side, natural age-related cracking in the gesso (craquelure), and authentic oxidisation or wear to the gilding. Original candle sconces may also show historical conversions to electricity along with handmade metal fittings.

Carved giltwood sconces serve as sculptural wall art that provides layered accent lighting. High-end designers often place them flanking large mirrors, artwork, or architectural features to introduce historical contrast within minimalist or contemporary rooms.

Care for silver giltwood requires gentle dusting with a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid lifting loose leaf finish. Liquid cleaners, water, and abrasive cloths must be avoided, as moisture dissolves water-gesso grounds and permanently damages the delicate silver gilding.
