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 Louis XVI Revival lighting from the late nineteenth century is defined by classical Greco-Roman motifs, including urn silhouettes, acanthus leaves, laurel wreaths, and floral garlands. Objects were constructed from cast bronze and heavily gilded to create a reflective, lustrous finish.

These pieces were typically created using the lost-wax or sand casting technique to achieve detailed relief work. The bronze base was subsequently finished through electroplating or fire-gilding (ormolu) and detailed using hand-chasing tools to accentuate fine design elements.

Authentic period pieces display significant weight due to solid bronze construction, along with finely chased decorative details that show crisp definition. Wear to the gilded surface usually reveals subtle oxidisation or bare bronze underneath, rather than uniform modern paint or spray finishes.

A pair of urn lamps can be placed symmetrically on a long sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece to anchor a room layout. Pairing them with neutral fabric lamp shades helps balance the detailed metallic finish against contemporary backdrops.

Gilt bronze surfaces should be dusted regularly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth. Chemical cleaners, brass polishes, and abrasive solvents must be avoided, as they strip the original gold gilding and damage the historic metal surface.
