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.
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.
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.

Late Victorian sterling silver candlesticks typically reflect Neoclassical Revival influences, featuring symmetrical fluted columns, reeded rims, and weighted stepped bases. Produced towards the end of the nineteenth century, these pieces adhere to official British sterling purity standards of 925 parts per thousand.

These candlesticks were fashioned from sheet or cast sterling silver, often formed around a hollow core. To ensure stability during use, manufacturers filled the bases with pitch, resin, or lead weights, finished with a green baize or leather covering on the underside.

Authentic British pieces carry a full set of official hallmarks stamped into the metal. These include the lion passant for sterling purity, an assay office mark (such as a leopards head for London or an anchor for Birmingham), a makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the Victorian era.

A pair of fluted silver candlesticks brings vertical proportion and reflective tone to a modern dining table, sideboard top, or fireplace mantelpiece. They function effectively alongside natural timber, dark marble, or contemporary linen tableware.

Silver should be lightly dusted and polished using a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver foam or cream. Avoid immersing weighted bases in water, as moisture can degrade the internal filling and loosen the base covering.
