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

Regency and Empire period lighting is defined by neoclassical influences, symmetry, and classical motifs such as eagles, anthemion leaves, and fluted columns. Craftsmen frequently combined dark patinated bronze with gilded ormolu mounts to create strong visual contrast.

High-quality nineteenth-century candelabras were typically constructed using cast bronze, brass, and ormolu (gilt bronze). Plinths were occasionally supported by marble or slate bases to provide stability for extended metal arms.

Authentic period ormolu exhibits hand-chased surface details, heavy cast construction, and original mercury gilding that wears naturally on raised points over time. Threaded assemblies, square nuts, and hand-cut screws are standard indicators of early construction.

Designers position antique candelabras as focal points on dining tables, mantelpieces, or sideboards. Combining aged metalwork with contemporary minimalist surfaces creates visual contrast and historical balance within a space.

Dusting with a dry, soft-bristled brush is recommended to remove loose debris without scratching the finish. Chemical cleaners and abrasive polishes should be avoided, as they strip original gilded layers and patination.
