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

French gilt bronze wall sconces, often associated with the Louis XV and Rococo periods, feature elaborate cast metalwork decorated with scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and asymmetric fluid forms. Historically fire-gilded using mercury, these fixtures were created to reflect candlelight across grand interior spaces.

Authentic period sconces were predominantly cast in bronze or brass using the lost-wax or sand-casting method. The surfaces were meticulously chased by hand and finished with mercury gilding (ormolu) or lacquer to produce a bright golden tone.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy weight, sharp hand-chased surface details, and evidence of historical manufacturing such as threaded iron or brass rods and hand-cut screws on the reverse. Oxidisation on untouched rear surfaces and subtle wear to the gilding on high points also indicate age.

Mount these fixtures symmetrically to frame a feature mirror, artwork, or fireplace breast to create a classic focal point. They can be wired to modern electrical standards to provide warm accent lighting against bold contemporary wall colours or textured plaster.

Dust regularly using a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth to clean intricate casting details. Avoid harsh chemical polishes, abrasive pads, or liquid metal cleaners, as these can strip away original gilding and historic patina.
