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

French chandeliers from this era frequently feature cast bronze or brass frames adorned with hand-cut crystal drops, rosettes, and pendeloques. Designs often draw inspiration from Rococo or Neoclassical styles, displaying scrolled arms, central cage structures, and decorative candle sleeves.

Traditional construction involved cast brass or bronze frames that were often fire-gilded or lacquered. The decorative pendants were crafted from blown and hand-cut glass, lead crystal, or natural quartz crystals such as amethyst.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-chased metalwork, irregularities in hand-cut glass or crystal droplets, and evidence of historical re-wiring or conversion from gas or candle power. Fastening pins holding the crystals are often made of soft wire bent by hand rather than modern uniform clips.

A French chandelier can be installed as a central focal point above a dining table, in a grand hallway, or over a bed to contrast against minimalist architecture. Pairing ornate metalwork with clean modern lines enhances the texture and historic detail of the fixture.

Clean crystals individually using a soft cloth dampened with a mild solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on gilded brass frames to prevent damage to the historic patina, and ensure electrical components are turned off prior to maintenance.
