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

Crafted during the interwar period, French wrought iron wall sconces combine traditional blacksmithing techniques with decorative motifs such as scrollwork and foliate leaves. They were frequently finished with polychrome paint or gilding to complement period interior schemes.

These lighting fixtures were constructed primarily from hand-forged wrought iron or hammered steel, finished with applied paintwork, gold leaf, or bronzing powders. Fabrication involved riveted joints, metal collars, and welded connections to build layered floral designs.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-hammered surface textures, slight natural variances in symmetry, and surface patination or paint wear consistent with age. Original internal wiring channels and substantial iron weight also help distinguish early production from modern cast reproductions.

Mount wall sconces in pairs to frame architectural focal points such as fireplace alcoves, hall mirrors, or artwork. Their sculpted forms and metallic highlights provide textural contrast when set against plain, lime-washed, or deep-toned wall surfaces.

Dust the metalwork regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dust from crevices and leaf detailing. Avoid liquid chemical cleaners that may compromise original polychrome finishes, and consult a qualified electrician to inspect and update vintage wiring for modern standards.
