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

Spelter figurative candlesticks are decorative lighting fixtures cast from a zinc-based alloy, featuring human or mythological figures designed to support candle sockets.

They were produced by pouring molten zinc alloy into detailed multi-piece moulds, followed by chasing, hand-assembly, and the application of chemical patination to simulate true bronze.

Authentic pieces display fine casting seams, a soft white-grey metal beneath areas of surface wear, and a lighter weight compared to solid cast bronze.

Position the pair symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table to act as sculptural accents alongside modern or classic furnishings.

Dust regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquid solvents that strip applied finishes, and occasionally apply microcrystalline wax to protect the patinated layer.
