Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

Originally designed for commercial and institutional environments such as dispensaries, pharmacies, and public offices in the early 20th century, these lights utilised opalescent glass to produce bright, glare-free illumination suitable for precision work.

These fixtures were constructed using heavy hand-blown or moulded opalescent glass shades supported by solid cast brass gallery caps and hanging loops.

Authentic period examples feature thick, heavy glass with subtle variations, ground rims where the shade meets the gallery, and solid brass fittings rather than modern lacquered or plated metals.

Large scale glass pendants serve as effective focal points above kitchen islands, dining tables, or in entrance foyers, providing balanced ambient lighting while complementing both classic and contemporary architecture.

Clean the glass shade using a non-abrasive microfiber cloth and mild warm soapy water, ensuring all electrical components remain completely dry. Solid brass fittings can be left to develop a natural patina or polished with a specialized metal cleaner.
