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.

Louis XVI style lighting is characterised by Neoclassical symmetry, Greek and Roman architectural influences, and refined gilt bronze mountings featuring foliate, ribbon, or urn motifs.

Antique French pendant lanterns typically feature ormolu or gilt bronze mounts combined with hand-cut, etched, or frosted glass shades suspended by brass link chains.

Authentic pieces display heavy, finely hand-chased bronze castings with natural surface patination, original mercury gilding or gold lacquer, and period-appropriate electrical or gas fittings.

Suspend the lantern above a hallway console, in an entrance foyer, or above a dining table to provide a classical focal point within a contemporary or traditional room scheme.

Dust the glass shade and bronze mounts regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleansers or abrasive polishes that could strip the original gilding.
