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 lights typically feature hand-carved botanical motifs, such as acanthus or palm leaves, finished with gold leaf gilding. Originating in Florence, Italy, this style emphasizes sculptural foliage and classical symmetry.

These sconces were carved from lightweight timber, such as pine or lime, coated with gesso, and finished with gold leaf gilding. Decorative accents often included glass or crystal drops suspended from metal candle nozzles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved tool marks, natural wear to the gilding revealing the underlying bole or gesso, and timber construction rather than moulded resin. Electrical components, where present, often reflect historical conversion or updating.

Position a pair flanking a central mirror, artwork, or fireplace to create balanced architectural structure. The reflective gilded finish provides visual warm contrast against dark painted walls or neutral textured wallpapers.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning agents that can degrade gold leaf. Glass drops and metal candle holders may be wiped carefully with a dry microfibre cloth.
