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

A pricket candlestick features a vertical metal spike at the centre of the top pan, designed to secure thick beeswax or tallow candles by impaling the base. Historically used in ecclesiastical and formal domestic settings across Europe, they allowed large candles to remain upright securely.

These items were typically cast in heavy metals such as brass, bronze, or pewter using traditional sand-casting methods. Individual components including the drip pan, baluster stem, and tripod base were cast separately and joined using threaded internal rods or brazing.

Period examples display hand-chased decorative details, subtle surface irregularities from manual casting, and visible seam lines or threaded internal rods. Inspecting the underside reveals unpolished casting textures, hand-tool marks, and natural oxidisation consistent with age.

Positioning a pair of tall pricket candlesticks on a dining table or mantelpiece creates an architectural focal point. Placing warm metalwork against dark painted walls or stone surfaces highlights their historic silhouette alongside contemporary furnishings.

Dust the metal surface regularly with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive chemical polishes that strip natural patina. Accumulated wax should be softened with warm water or gently removed using non-scratching wooden tools.
