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

Originating in eighteenth-century France, basket chandeliersoften referred to as sac-a-perlesfeature a concentric metal frame draped with strung crystal beads or faceted drops forming a lower basket shape. The design evolved through the Empire and Regency periods to maximise light diffusion from candlelight and early electric bulbs.

Traditional construction incorporates cast brass or gilt bronze for the structural rims and arms, paired with hand-cut glass or high-lead crystal drops. The drops are individually linked using fine brass pin wire to form cascading tiers and hemispherically curved bases.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-formed metal frames showing subtle hand-tool marks and natural surface patination rather than uniform modern plating. The glass drops typically show hand-cut facets, minor hand-finishing irregularities, and brass wire pins connecting each element.

Suspended in a hallway, dressing room, or above a bedside table, a basket chandelier introduces refined texture and historical character. Pairing intricate crystal work against plain plastered walls or painted panelling creates a balanced architectural contrast.

Dust the crystal drops regularly with a dry microfibre cloth. For deep cleaning, spray a mild solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water onto a cloth and gently wipe individual drops, taking care not to pull the delicate brass wire connectors or moisture into the wiring socket.
