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

French Empire lighting originated during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte in the early nineteenth century. It is characterised by neoclassical motifs derived from ancient Greco-Roman and Egyptian design, including swans, palmettes, laurel wreaths, and symmetrical geometric shapes.

Empire fixtures were predominantly crafted from cast bronze or brass, frequently finished with gold gilding or dark chemical patination to create contrasting surface tones.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast bronze construction with crisp hand-chased surface detail, visible assembly threading or square-headed bolts on the reverse, and natural oxidation within the recessed areas.

Empire sconces are suited to flanking a central focal point such as an overmantel mirror, framing large artwork, or bringing architectural balance to a hallway or dining room wall.

Gilded bronze surfaces should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Abrasive polishes and liquid chemical cleaners must be avoided as they strip protective patination and original gilding.
