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 Neoclassical wall sconces typically feature motifs inspired by classical antiquity, such as ribbons, bows, tassels, laurel wreaths, and musical instruments like hunting horns. Produced extensively during the eighteenth century and revived in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by ateliers like Maison Bagues, these fixtures emphasise symmetry and balanced proportion.

High-end French wall lights were predominantly crafted from cast bronze or brass, which was subsequently chased and finished with gilding or patination. Electrical components were retrofitted or integrated into later production using ceramic or painted metal candle drips.

Authentic French bronze sconces demonstrate heavy cast metal construction, detailed hand-chasing on decorative elements, and original mounting plates or maker stamps on the reverse. Screws and threads are frequently non-standard or hand-cut on older examples.

Gilt wall lights provide decorative focal points when positioned flanking a mantelpiece, framing a central mirror, or mounted along a hallway. Their metallic finish complements both modern painted walls and traditional papered backdrops.

Clean gilt bronze sconces using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a natural bristle brush to remove dust from detailed relief work. Avoid liquid polishes, abrasive pads, or chemical cleaners, as these can strip original gilding or lacquered finishes.
