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.

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

Toleware refers to lacquered or painted metalwork that was popularised across France in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, often featuring leaf and floral motifs finished with gilded surfaces.

These lighting fixtures are typically constructed from hand-shaped sheet metal, iron, or brass, finished with gold leaf or gilt paint, and adorned with glass or crystal pendeloque drops.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-soldered metal joints, subtle surface oxidisation, layered gilded patination, and era-appropriate electrical or candle socket fittings.

Mount these decorative sconces against neutral backdrop walls, alongside contemporary artwork, or flanking a mantelpiece to create balanced visual texture between historic metalwork and modern lines.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth; avoid water or abrasive chemical liquids on gilt metalwork, and clean glass drops separately with a diluted glass cleaner.
