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 torchere stand is a tall, narrow pedestal designed originally during the 17th to 19th centuries to elevate candles, oil lamps, or candelabras, later evolving into a display stand for plants, urns, and sculptures.

Victorian torcheres were typically crafted from solid dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, often featuring lathe-turned central columns, moulded plinth bases, and circular dished tops.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned column details, traditional joinery techniques at the base, natural timber shrinkage lines consistent with age, and a hand-waxed or French polished finish over rich mahogany grain.

Place a torchere stand in an unused alcove, corner, or hallway to hold a trailing houseplant, a ceramic vase, or a sculptural art object, adding vertical interest to contemporary living spaces.

Dust the turned wood regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the patina, avoiding direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood movement or splitting.
