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

Traditional French wall lanterns typically feature classical architectural elements such as domed caps, decorative scrolls, and turned finials. Originating in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these fixtures were designed to illuminate grand entrances, corridors, and exterior facades.

Period examples were cast in solid bronze or brass, incorporating hand-fitted glass panels or blown cylindrical glass shades. The metalwork was finished with patination to protect against atmospheric wear while accentuating cast decorative details.

Authentic period lights show signs of historical metal casting, including visible casting lines, natural oxidisation within recessed areas, and original hand-cut thread work. Modern reproductions often lack heavy cast metal construction and display uniform synthetic finishes.

Mounting a bronze wall lantern in a hallway, entryway, or flanking a fireplace adds architectural structure and warm metal tones. The classical proportions create visual balance when paired alongside contemporary or period interior schemes.

Dust the metalwork regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and clean glass components using a dedicated glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth. Avoid aggressive chemical polishes, which can strip the protective aged patina from the bronze surface.
