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.

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

Neoclassical ormolu wall sconces feature gilded bronze castings shaped into classical forms such as draped urns, foliate scrolls, and architectural columns. Originating in eighteenth-century France, these fixtures were designed to mount to walls and reflect light using polished gold surfaces and glass prisms.

Traditional pieces are constructed from cast bronze coated in a gold amalgam known as ormolu, often paired with cut lead crystal prisms and glass drops to enhance candle reflection.

Authentic items display detailed hand-chiselled casting marks, original threadings, heavy bronze weight beneath the gilding, and signs of soft surface patina rather than uniform modern electroplating.

These fixtures are commonly installed in pairs to flank large chimney mirrors, framed artwork, or hallway doorways to create symmetry and focused accent lighting.

Dust gilt bronze regularly using a soft dry brush, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners or water which can degrade the mercury gilding. Cut glass droplets should be wiped gently with a soft cloth dipped in diluted isopropyl alcohol.
