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 Rococo candelabra feature fluid curves, asymmetrical scrolling, naturalistic foliage, and figurative motifs such as cherubs or putti. Originating in 18th-century France, these decorative pieces were designed to reflect light across opulent interior spaces.

Traditional pieces were hand-carved from hardwoods such as linden or beech, then coated with gesso and bole before applying thin sheets of metal or gold leaf. Iron or brass arms were integrated to safely support light fittings or candle nozzles.

Authentic examples show signs of age such as shrinkage cracks in the timber beneath the gesso layer, natural wear revealing underlying bole coats, and evidence of hand-carving or hand-forged ironwork.

Position a pair symmetrically on a dining sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to establish a balanced focal point. Combining carved antique lighting with contemporary minimal furniture creates visual texture and architectural contrast.

Dust giltwood gently using a soft dry ostrich feather duster or soft brush to prevent lifting loose foil. Avoid wet cleaning solutions, chemical polishes, or commercial metal sprays, as moisture can dissolve underlying gesso water-gilding.
