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

Neoclassical French wall lights, particularly from the Louis XVI period, are characteristically symmetrical, incorporating classical motifs such as urns, drapery, and acanthus leaves cast in gilt bronze or brass.

Traditional French sconces were crafted using heavy cast bronze or brass, which was hand-chased and gilded using mercury gilding or lacquer techniques to produce a durable golden finish.

Authentic period pieces display detailed hand-chasing, foundry markings, historical thread patterns on fixings, and natural oxidisation within the recessed areas of the bronze casting.

Mount twin-arm sconces symmetrically on either side of a large chimneypiece mirror, along a hallway, or flanking a sideboard to introduce classical architectural warmth into modern rooms.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth or gentle camel-hair brush, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners, polish, or water that can strip original gilding.
