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.

This pair of Italian wall lights dates from the 1930 period and follows a Neoclassical style. Each piece is constructed from ebonised wood, giltwood, brass and toleware, finished in a striking combination of black and gold with a nice original patination. The design incorporates a reeded tapering central backplate with an arrow head finial, scrolling metal arms, and wooden leaf scalloped candle sconces. Detailed elements include well carved and gilded motifs, decorative ribbon bows, and tassel chains hanging from the arms. Each light measures 61 cm high, 28 cm wide, and 18 cm deep. In a contemporary home, these fixtures are suited for placement in a hallway, drawing room, or above a sideboard to provide ambient lighting. The fully rewired and PAT tested wall lights bring an architectural accent to interior spaces while offering functional illumination. They mount easily to vertical surfaces using the included aged brass screws or brackets for fixing, integrating well with traditional or transitional decor schemes.

FAQs

These lighting fixtures combine dark ebonised timber or metal components with hand-gilded carved wooden accents, frequently incorporating Neoclassical or Empire motifs such as torches, arrows, bows, and tassels.

Craftsmen typically hand-carved the structural elements from wood, applying an ebonised black finish alongside gold leaf gilding over a gesso base on decorative carved details.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved irregularities, natural rubbing on gold leaf revealing the red or yellow bole underneath, and signs of historical adaptation from candles to electrical wiring.

Positioning a pair on either side of an overmantel mirror, sideboard, or architectural doorway adds visual symmetry and architectural contrast against neutral or dark paint finishes.

Dust surfaces gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth, keeping moisture, chemical solvents, and commercial polish away from gilding to prevent lifting.
