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.

This 19th Century French Rococo Revival oil lamp stands 91 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 20 cm deep, making it an imposing and decorative centrepiece for a large sideboard top. The piece combines porcelain, brass, and glass materials, showcasing a cream ground finish with gilded highlights, hand-painted romantic figurative scenes, and a cranberry etched glass shade paired with a clear glass chimney. Ornate gilt leaf mounts embellish the brass ormolu hardware, while detailed floral patterns accent the tapering ceramic column and the octagonal brass base. The flared shade features a rich pink hue with intricate etched scrollwork, complementing the pastoral artwork depicted on the central reservoir and column. This sophisticated lighting fixture brings a touch of classic French chateau styling to a traditional dining room or a formal reception space.

FAQs

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display hand-painted artwork with visible brushstrokes rather than printed transfers, heavy cast brass fittings showing natural age-related patination, and period burner mechanisms often stamped with historical maker details.

An antique porcelain oil lamp serves as a focal decorative accent when positioned on a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece within classical or eclectic interiors. Placing it against a neutral backdrop emphasizes its detailed painted porcelain and glasswork.

Clean the porcelain column and brass fittings using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners or chemical polishes that could damage the gilded surface. The removable glass shade and chimney can be washed gently in warm soapy water.

These lamps were constructed using hard-paste porcelain for the central column and reservoir, cast brass or ormolu for the structural mounts and burner mechanisms, and blown or etched glass for the chimney and shade.

A Sevres style porcelain oil lamp is a late nineteenth-century lighting fixture crafted from finely decorated porcelain in the style of the renowned French Royal Porcelain Manufactory of Sevres. These lamps typically feature hand-painted figurative scenes, gilt brass mounts, and decorative glass shades.
