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

Italian ebonised and giltwood chandeliers combine darkened or black-stained wood with hand-applied gold leaf gilding. This style developed in Italy as a dramatic contrast between deep black surfaces and reflective metallic accents, frequently incorporating classical leaf motifs and architectural turnings.

Traditional wooden chandeliers were crafted using dense hardwoods such as lime, pine, or fruitwood for hand-carving. The dark ebonised finish was achieved using iron-rich stains or dark lacquers, while decorative raised elements received water gilding over a gesso base.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle irregularities from hand-carving and signs of age in the gilding, such as red or yellow clay bole showing through worn gold leaf. Additionally, original wooden components often show fine cracking along the grain consistent with natural wood movement over time.

Suspended above a neutral dining table or positioned in a high-ceilinged hallway, an ebonised and giltwood chandelier creates strong visual contrast. The combination of black and gold allows it to bridge contemporary monochrome palettes with traditional architectural features.

Dust the chandelier regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster. Avoid water, spirit-based solvents, or chemical cleaners, as moisture can lift gilding gesso layers and strip ebonised wood finishes.
