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

Emerging in the early 19th century following the First French Empire, Restoration period design retained Neoclassical elements while incorporating mythological figures, soft curves, and detailed bronze chasing.

Craftspeople cast high-grade bronze or brass using the lost-wax technique before applying fire-gilding, a process involving gold and mercury amalgam that yielded a durable gilded surface.

Authentic pieces display hand-chased details, threaded construction components, substantial metal core weight, and natural wear to the gilded layer around high-contact areas.

Positioning a gilded bronze candlestick on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or writing table introduces warm metallic tones and sculptural form alongside modern textures.

Dusting regularly with a soft microfibre cloth or dry soft brush is essential; chemical solvents, metal polishes, and abrasive cleaners must be avoided to prevent stripping the historic gilding.
