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

A birdcage chandelier features an open central metal structure resembling a cage, with curved outer arms supporting light fittings and crystal drops without a solid central column.

Traditional French chandeliers are constructed from cast bronze or brass with gilded or patinated finishes, complemented by hand-cut glass or lead crystal prisms and pendeloques.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-chased cast bronze elements, pinned crystal drops, natural metal oxidisation, and hand-fitted electrical or candle components rather than mass-produced cast parts.

Positioning a French chandelier above a contemporary dining table or within a minimalist entrance hall creates a visual focal point through architectural contrast.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, and clean individual crystal drops using a mild solution of isopropyl alcohol and water while avoiding abrasive cleaners on the gilded metal frame.
