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.

This early 20th-century French Chateau style bag chandelier is constructed from brass, glass and crystal in gold and clear colours. The luminaire features a moulded brass top ring with small finials supporting glass drops, a cascading bag section composed of faceted crystal beads, and a base finished with a glass flower and brass clasp. Suspended from a linked brass chain, the piece exhibits visible patina on the metallic framework and precise geometric facets on the glass components. The fixture measures 27 cm high, 19 cm wide and 19 cm deep. Suitable for interior illumination, this compact hanging light is well-suited for installation in hallways, cloakrooms, or smaller reception spaces within a home.

FAQs

A bag chandelier, also known as a basket or sac-a-perles chandelier, features concentric rings or strands of crystal beads suspended from a metal frame to form a tapered, purse-like shape beneath a central gallery ring.

These light fixtures are predominantly constructed from cast brass or gilded bronze frames, laced with hand-cut crystal or glass beads strung on brass wire pinions.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut crystal elements with minor variations in facet size, aged patination on metal frameworks, and traditional hand-twisted wire links rather than modern machine-pressed clips.

Compact bag chandeliers serve as focal points in smaller spaces such as cloakrooms, hallways, or dressing rooms, providing contrast against contemporary painted plasterwork.

Dry dust regularly with a microfibre cloth, and gently wipe individual crystal facets using a soft cloth dampened with equal parts warm water and isopropyl alcohol, avoiding harsh chemical sprays on metal elements.
