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

French Empire lighting originated in early nineteenth-century France and is defined by neoclassical symmetry, ancient Roman motifs, dark patinated bronze elements, and gilded ormolu mounts.

These fixtures were constructed from cast bronze, utilising fire-gilding (ormolu) for golden highlights alongside dark chemical patination to create contrasting visual textures.

Authentic pieces feature detailed hand-chasing, heavy cast bronze construction, threaded assembly components, and natural oxidisation or wear on the gilded surfaces.

Mounting these lights in pairs on either side of a chimneypiece, hallway mirror, or architectural feature introduces classical balance and historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Clean surfaces using a dry, soft lint-free cloth or soft brush, avoiding chemical brass cleaners, polish, or moisture, which can degrade historical gilding and patination.
