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

A wrought iron candle chandelier is a ceiling-suspended lighting fixture crafted from hand-forged iron, designed to support multiple candles along radiating arms.

Traditional examples were hand-hammered by blacksmiths, utilizing joinery techniques such as rivets, collars, and drawn metal arms with integrated drip pans and sconce sockets.

Authentic forged pieces exhibit subtle surface irregularities, visible hammer marks, hand-formed iron rivets, natural surface oxidisation, and slight asymmetrical variation across the frame.

These fixtures provide strong architectural contrast when suspended above a wooden dining table, within a stone-walled entryway, or over a kitchen island in rustic contemporary spaces.

Dust the metal regularly with a soft dry cloth, and preserve the iron finish by occasionally applying a light coat of natural beeswax or microcrystalline wax to guard against moisture.
