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.

This pair of 19th Century church candlesticks belongs to the Gothic Revival style and is made from bronze with an aged brass colour and finish. Each heavy piece displays a visible pricket top with a central spike, a small circular drip tray, a turned baluster stem with multiple decorative rings and bulbs, and a heavy circular stepped base showing subtle surface wear and a natural patina from age. The items stand 51 cm high, 17 cm wide, and 17 cm deep. In a modern home, these traditional ecclesiastical candlesticks make a statement on a sideboard top in a dining room, living area, or hallway. They work well paired together to bring a distinct historical character to an interior surface, offering a solid structure and a classical silhouette that anchors a tabletop display.

FAQs

Pricket candlesticks feature a central spike designed to hold large wax candles securely in place, historically used on church altars during religious ceremonies.

Ecclesiastical candlesticks were traditionally cast from bronze, brass, or gunmetal to ensure weight, stability, and durability during liturgical use.

Authentic antique examples often display cast seam lines, irregular hand-turned baluster details, heavy solid metal construction, and genuine oxidisation or patina from wax and handling over time.

Position a pair on a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard to create vertical height and architectural interest alongside contemporary textures and artwork.

Remove wax residue by pouring warm water over the metal rather than scraping, and preserve the original patina by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth rather than using harsh chemical polishes.
