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

Gimbal lamps were engineered for marine vessels to keep oil burners upright despite the pitching and rolling of a ship at sea. The pivoted ring system uses gravity to maintain a level orientation regardless of the movement of the vessel.

Most antique gimbal lamps were manufactured using solid brass, bronze, or heavy nickel-plated metals to resist corrosion from salt air and sea spray while providing structural weight at the base.

Authentic maritime gimbal lamps often display maker marks or foundry stamps, heavy weighted counterbalances, smooth pivoting movement, and signs of period conversion from oil or gas to electrical wiring.

A nickel or brass gimbal lamp serves as an ideal accent on an executive office desk, bookshelf, or sideboard, complementing Gentlemans Library, Industrial Loft, and traditional coastal aesthetic schemes.

Maintain nickel plating by wiping gently with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid harsh abrasives or chemical polishers that can strip the delicate plated layer.
