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

Florentine giltwood wall sconces originate from Italian decorative arts traditions, featuring dramatic scrollwork, acanthus foliage motifs, and ornate Rococo or Baroque profiles finished in gold leaf gilding.

These wall lights were traditionally hand-carved from softwoods such as lime or pine, coated with a gesso preparation layer, and finished using water gilding prior to being fitted for candles or electrical wiring.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved tool markings, uneven surface wear revealing red bole or white gesso beneath the gold leaf, and historical joinery or early wire-adaptation marks.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on either side of a large modern artwork, mirror, or chimney breast creates a balanced focal point between classical carving work and contemporary design elements.

Dust carefully using a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding water, commercial polishes, or liquid solvents that can dissolve the underlying gesso backing and remove delicate gold leafing.
