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 Chinoiserie table lamp takes the form of an 18th Century style square baluster porcelain vase with hand-painted classical oriental motif decoration and scrolling side handles. The body carries a celadon glaze in tones of pale green and grey, showing gentle wear and surface distress across its relief carving. Gilt bronze ormolu mounts secure the top beneath a turned finial and a pleated cream fabric shade, while the base terminates in ornate ormolu claw feet. The lamp stands 46 cm high, 23 cm wide, and 20 cm deep overall. Positioned on a sideboard top, this piece provides ambient lighting in a living room, hallway or study. The neutral cream and gold palette coordinates readily with traditional and transitional interiors, adding texture and historical character to a side table or console.

FAQs

An ormolu mounted lamp features a central ceramic, porcelain, or glass vessel fitted with gilded bronze mounts, a technique developed in 18th-century Europe to protect and convert decorative objects into refined furnishings.

These lamps typically comprise a glazed porcelain or stoneware body, hand-cast bronze or brass ormolu fittings with gold leaf or gilding, and modern electrical components paired with silk or linen pleated lampshades.

Authentic historic ormolu displays precise hand-chasing, heavy cast metal, and natural oxidisation in receded areas, whereas modern reproductions often feature lighter spun metal and uniform electroplated finishes.

Place the lamp on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or desk to allow the contrast between the pale porcelain and gold-toned metalwork to act as a focal point within traditional or eclectic design schemes.

Dust the porcelain and shade using a soft microfibre cloth or feather duster; avoid chemical polish on the gilt bronze, as harsh solvents can strip the historical gilding or protective lacquer.
