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 late nineteenth century, French bronze casters revisited Neoclassical motifs popularised during the reign of Louis XVI. Typical design elements include ribbon bows, fluted columns, laurel garlands, and acanthus leaf embellishments, resulting in symmetrical, classical wall lights.

French wall sconces from this period were primarily cast in bronze or brass using the lost-wax or sand-casting method. The metal surface was often gilded using mercury fire-gilding or electroplating, followed by manual chasing to sharpen decorative details.

Authentic period pieces exhibit substantial weight, crisp hand-chased carving, and natural oxidisation within deeper relief areas. Inspection of the reverse side often reveals original threaded assembly rod structures, hand-cut screws, and casting marks consistent with late nineteenth-century foundry production.

A pair of sconces can be mounted on a narrow wall space, flanking a central mantelpiece mirror, or positioned above a dining room sideboard to create visual symmetry. They offer warm ambient lighting and introduce classical architectural texture to contemporary or traditional schemes.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth to prevent dirt buildup in carved crevices. Avoid chemical metal polishes, abrasive creams, or water, as these treatments can strip original gilding and alter the historical patina.
