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

Gothic Revival lighting incorporates architectural elements from medieval Europe, such as pointed arches, tracery, crockets, and trefoils, reinterpreted during the nineteenth century.

These chandeliers were typically constructed using cast and turned brass components, hand-chased for fine detail, and assembled with threaded central shafts and decorative finials.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished casting, sharp architectural details, heavy gauge metal construction, and natural surface patination or oxidisation within recessed areas.

A Gothic Revival chandelier serves as a dramatic focal point when hung above large dining tables, in double-height foyers, or contrasting against minimal contemporary plasterwork.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can strip historic patination or protective lacquers.
