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

A Florentine polychrome chandelier is an Italian ceiling light fitting characterised by hand-carved wood or metalwork decorated in multiple painted colours, leaf gilding, and distressed surface finishes traditional to Florence.

These fixtures are typically crafted from carved softwood or wrought iron, coated with gesso, painted using mineral pigments, and detailed with applied gold or silver leafing.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery marks, natural craquelure in the gesso underlayer, authentic oxidisation on metallic leafing, and historic electrical rewiring or candle socket adaptations.

Position the chandelier centrally above a dining table, in a grand entrance hallway, or within a drawing room to serve as a sculptural focal point that contrasts with contemporary or traditional decor.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or chemical solvents that can dissolve historic tempera paint and leaf gilding.
