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.

A Florentine girandole is an ornate wall-mounted light fixture featuring a carved, gilded wood frame integrated with a central mirror, historically designed to reflect light across a room.

These fixtures were constructed using carved timber frames coated with gesso, finished with hand-applied gold leaf, and fitted with mirrored glass inserts and metal candle branches.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-carved joinery details, natural wear or oxidisation to the gilding, mirrored glass showing age spots, and traditional iron branch structures.

Positioned as flanking accents beside a large mantelpiece, hallway mirror, or dining room sideboard, girandoles add warmth, historical texture, and atmospheric illumination to modern schemes.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or feather duster, avoiding liquid cleaners or damp cloths on gilt surfaces to prevent damage to water gilding or gesso layers.
