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.
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.
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.

A birdcage chandelier features an openwork metal frame composed of curved ribs that resemble an ornamental birdcage, leaving the central core visible rather than concealed by a central stem. Italian iterations frequently integrate cast brass or gilt metal scrollwork adorned with multi-faceted lead crystal or glass pendeloques.

Traditional chandeliers are constructed using solid brass, bronze, or wrought iron frame structures. The decorative elements consist of hand-cut or molded crystal and glass prisms, connected with soft metal wire pins and supported by glass bobeches.

Authentic pieces feature hand-bent metal frame construction, hand-pinned crystal droplets, and hand-cut glass prisms exhibiting slight irregularities. Older brass elements will display natural patination in recessed areas and authentic wear around structural joinery.

Position the fitting as a central focal point above a dining table, in a formal hallway, or in a high-ceilinged drawing room. Suspending the piece against neutral plaster walls allows the brass framework and crystal refraction to stand out.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe individual crystal prisms with a lint-free cloth dampened with a solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water, ensuring no liquid enters the electrical sockets.
