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.
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.
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.

The Mazarin style originates from the French Baroque and Louis XIV period, named after Cardinal Mazarin. Lighting from this movement features substantial cast metalwork, symmetrical proportions, scroll arms, and classical figurative detail such as masks and acanthus foliage.

These fixtures are typically constructed from heavy cast bronze or brass, which is chased by hand and finished with mercury gilding or gold lacquer to create a rich metallic sheen.

Authentic pieces demonstrate heavy weight, hand-chiselled chasing details around decorative mouldings, natural oxidisation within recessed areas, and evidence of historical hand-cut threading or early electrical conversions.

Positioning the chandelier above a formal dining table, in a double-height entrance hall, or within a main reception room provides a strong historical focal point that contrasts with modern neutral walls and clean-lined architecture.

Regular dusting with a soft dry cloth or fine bristle brush is recommended. Avoid liquid cleaners, ammonia, or abrasive metal polishes, as these will strip or damage historical gilding and patination.
