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.

FAQs

Wall-mounted lanterns and half lanterns evolved from exterior lighting and carriage illumination, later adapted for interior hallways and vestibules to maximise candle or gaslight reflection.

Traditional construction typically involves cast or pressed brass frames, gilded metal finishes, and curved or blown glass panels secured with solder or delicate bezels.

Authentication relies on examining the patination of the metal, evidence of hand-finishing or casting irregularities, old wiring methods if electrified, and traditional joinery techniques.

They can be mounted in pairs or groups along a hallway, flanking a mirror, or positioned to introduce architectural depth and warm ambient illumination into a modern space.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft microfibre cloth without harsh chemical polishes, while glass panels can be cleaned using a mild glass cleaner applied directly to the cloth.
