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.

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

Originating in early 19th-century France, Empire tent and bag chandeliers feature an upper cone of crystal beads resembling a tent and a lower concentric hemisphere forming a bag. This design maximised light reflection during the candlelit era.

Authentic examples combine heavy brass or gilt bronze frames with hand-cut lead crystal droplets and octagonal beads. The frame elements are strung together using copper wire links to form cascading strands.

Genuine period lighting exhibits hand-chased brass fittings, uneven hand-cut crystals with slight internal bubbles, and natural aged patination on metal joints. Later reproductions often feature machine-moulded glass and uniform cast alloys.

Suspending a crystal chandelier above a contemporary dining table or in a neutral hallway creates a striking visual focal point. The contrast between ornate period glass and minimalist architecture highlights the craftsmanship of both eras.

Dust the individual crystal strands regularly using a soft feather duster or dry microfibre cloth. For deeper cleaning, wipe each prism gently with an isopropyl alcohol and distilled water solution, ensuring electrical components remain completely dry.
