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 French silver gilt chandelier typically features a central baluster or turned column with sweeping scroll arms holding light sockets styled as traditional candles. The surface finish consists of silver leaf or silver plating applied over metal, often displaying a soft patina and muted tonal depth.

These fixtures are constructed primarily from solid brass, bronze, or wrought iron, which is subsequently gilded with thin layers of silver leaf or silver foil. Candle sleeves were historically crafted from painted card, wood, or porcelain fitted over the bulb holder.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural oxidisation and light rubbing where the underlying base metal subtly shows through the silver gilding. Hand-cast metal components, irregular threadings, and evidence of historical rewiring also indicate genuine period construction.

A silver gilt chandelier serves as an effective focal lighting feature when positioned above a dining table or within a tall hallway. Combining it with modern minimalist furniture, neutral paint palettes, and natural textiles creates an engaging balance between historical texture and clean modern lines.

Dust the chandelier regularly using a clean, soft microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush to prevent dust build-up. Avoid wet cleaning solutions, metal polishes, or abrasive compounds, as these can strip fragile silver gilding from the surface.
