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

Ruby glass, often achieved by adding gold chloride to molten glass during production, became popular in the 19th century. Victorian glassmakers frequently combined ruby glass with acid etching and brass mountings to produce decorative table lamps and gas fixtures.

Lamps from this period typically feature solid brass or bronze stems and bases, often detailed with leaf or scroll motifs. Shades were crafted from hand-blown glass, including coloured, cased, or acid-etched varieties.

Authentic period glass shades often exhibit subtle variations in thickness, hand-etched pattern inconsistencies, and finished edges appropriate to period fitting methods rather than uniform machine-made edges.

Placing a symmetrical pair on a sideboard or console table creates visual balance. The warm tone of brass and coloured glass provides contrast against neutral wall finishes and modern joinery.

Etched glass shades should be washed gently in warm water with mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals. Brass components should be dusted with a soft, lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes that remove age-acquired patination.
