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

A tent and bag chandelier features a cascading upper cone of faceted crystal beads resembling a tent, connected to a lower rounded basin or bag of draped crystal strings, popularised during the French Empire and 19th-century periods.

These light fixtures typically feature cast bronze or brass metal frames, hand-cut glass or lead crystal beads, and brass candle sleeves or candle arms.

Authentic 19th-century examples exhibit cast bronze frames with hand-chased detailing, signs of hand-drawn wire linking the crystal prisms, natural surface oxidisation, and original threaded iron or bronze central rods.

A historic tent chandelier works well suspended above a contemporary dining table or situated in a high-ceilinged entrance hall to create a focal point balancing traditional craftsmanship with minimal architecture.

Crystals should be wiped gently with a soft microfibre cloth dampened with a mild alcohol-water solution, while the bronze metalwork requires dry dusting to preserve the historic patina without using harsh chemical polishes.
