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

During the Victorian era, torchieres and tall wooden pedestals were designed to elevate lighting fixtures, oil lamps, marble busts, or decorative ceramic urns, bringing vertical balance to formal reception rooms.

These items were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or oak, featuring hand-turned spiral twist shafts, hand-carved foliate detailing, and heavy stepped square bases for stability.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned column detailing, original dark patina, hand-carved motifs, timber shrinkage consistent with age, and weighted stepped bases with period joinery techniques.

Torchieres can be positioned in empty room corners, framing a fireplace alcove, or placed on a stairway landing to support botanical arrangements, contemporary sculptures, or table lamps.

Maintain the original finish by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying beeswax polish annually, keeping the wood clear of direct moisture and heat sources.
