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.

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

Grand Tour candle sconces are wall-mounted lighting fixtures created during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, inspired by classical Greco-Roman architecture and acquired by European travellers as decorative souvenirs.

Antique sconces were predominantly cast in solid brass, bronze, or iron, frequently featuring gilt finishes such as ormolu or gold leaf applied over hand-chased metalwork.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit signs of hand-chasing, minor casting irregularities on unexposed surfaces, traditional threaded assembly, and natural oxidation within recessed details.

Position sconces symmetrically on either side of a hallway mirror, above a dining room sideboard, or within alcoves to add vertical balance and historic character to contemporary spaces.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry brush, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners or water, which can erode original gilt coatings and historic patination.
