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

Originating in 18th-century France, Rococo style giltwood wall lights feature asymmetrical carving, acanthus leaf motifs, and flowing scrollwork designed to reflect light across grand interior spaces.

These fixtures were carved by hand from solid timber, coated in gesso plaster, and finished with gold leaf using traditional water gilding or oil gilding techniques before iron or brass candle arms were attached.

Authentic pieces show hand-carving marks on the reverse, natural oxidisation and surface wear to the gilding, exposed gesso layers beneath worn areas, and historical adaptations for electric wiring.

A symmetrical pair can be installed flanking an entryway mirror, placed above a mantelpiece, or positioned along a hallway to introduce metallic texture and historical contrast into modern schemes.

Dust gently with a soft dry feather duster or soft-bristled brush. Avoid water, liquid cleaning chemicals, or abrasive cloths that can strip thin gold leaf layers from the delicate gesso substrate.
