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

Florentine wall lights typically feature ornate hand-carved Italian woodwork, leaf gilding, and classical motifs such as acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and turned central columns inspired by Renaissance and Baroque design traditions.

These sconces were constructed using hand-carved timber coated in gesso plaster, followed by layers of thin gold leaf, with wrought iron or brass forming the structural candle arms.

Authentic examples demonstrate carved details rather than moulded resin, natural wear revealing the underlying red bole or white gesso ground, and historical wiring or original candle pan conversions.

Mount them in symmetrical pairs flanking a large focal mirror, architectural feature, or artwork to allow the carved metallic forms to provide contrast against neutral or deeply painted walls.

Dust gently using a soft feather duster or dry natural-bristle brush, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or liquid cleansers that can dissolve the water-gilded surface and gesso backing.
