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

Cantonese porcelain lamps typically feature 19th-century Chinese export porcelain vessels decorated with famille rose enamels, which were later mounted with metalwork or fitted as electrical lighting fixtures.

These lamps combine hand-painted Chinese porcelain bodies with custom European gilt bronze or brass fittings, including chased cast bases, decorative handles, and top light sockets.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-painted polychrome enamel work featuring panels of figures and flora, faint surface wear, and heavy cast metal mounts around the ceramic base and neck.

Positioning a pair symmetrically on a console table or sideboard provides balanced proportions, vibrant colour, and pattern contrast in modern or classic interior schemes.

Dust ceramics with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes on gilt metal surfaces, and keep moisture away from crackle glazes and electrical components.
