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

Louis XIV style lighting is defined by baroque grandness, symmetrical structures, classical architectural motifs, and heavy ornamentation including scrolling acanthus leaves, masks, and ornate drip pans.

Traditional appliques were cast in bronze using the lost-wax method and gilded using mercury amalgam, known as ormolu, before hand-chasing was applied to refine surface textures.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast bronze construction, hand-chased details, early hand-cut threads or pins, and natural oxidisation on un-gilded back surfaces.

Mount these wall lights symmetrically beside a central focal point, such as a large mirror or artwork above a sideboard, to add architectural depth and ambient lighting.

Dust regularly using a soft dry brush or lint-free microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid solvents or abrasive polishes that can strip or damage the gilded surface.
