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.

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

Tent and waterfall chandeliers gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries in France, designed to maximise the reflective qualities of newly perfected cut glass and crystal under candlelight.

Authentic pieces typically feature cast bronze or brass frames, often fire-gilded, adorned with interconnected strings of faceted crystal beads, glass drops, and prisms held together with fine wire loops.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the casting quality of the metal, the hand-cut facets and mineral content of the glass or crystal prisms, and traditional hand-twisted wire fastenings rather than modern machine-made links.

Pairing a highly ornate historical light fixture with minimalist contemporary architecture or clean-lined modern furniture creates a sophisticated contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the piece.

Regular maintenance involves gentle dusting with a soft microfibre cloth. For a deep clean, dismantle elements carefully and wash individual crystal pieces by hand using a mild solution of warm water and dish soap, ensuring the metal frame and electrical components remain dry.
