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

Adam style lighting incorporates Neoclassical design principles established by architect Robert Adam in the late 18th century, featuring symmetrical proportions, classical motifs such as anthemia, husks, and paterae, and refined gilding.

These lighting fixtures were typically cast from bronze or brass and finished with fire gilding (ormolu) or lacquer to achieve a bright, durable metallic lustre.

Authentic pieces display heavy cast bronze construction, hand-chased decorative relief detailing, natural oxidisation in recessed areas, and evidence of historical wiring or conversion from candle sockets.

Mount them in pairs flanking a mirror above a sideboard, along a hallway, or within fireplace alcoves to introduce warmth, metallic contrast, and architectural interest.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoiding chemical polishers or abrasive solvents that could compromise the original gilded surface.
