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

Late nineteenth-century French lighting features polished banded onyx combined with gilded bronze mounts, known as ormolu, influenced by classical and Rococo revival design.

These lamps were constructed using solid sections of carved onyx marble secured with internal central iron rods, finished with decorative cast brass or ormolu collars and base mounts.

Authentic pieces feature cool-to-the-touch natural stone displaying organic veining, heavy cast gilt-metal mounts with detailed chased hand-finishing, and threaded central rod assembly.

Position the lamp beside an armchair or in a reading corner to provide directional lighting and an occasional drink surface, pairing with both classic and neutral contemporary decor.

Clean the onyx surface with a soft cloth dampened with pH-neutral soap, avoiding acidic chemicals, while dusting gilt mounts gently with a dry microfibre cloth without harsh polishes.
