Archival Detail
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.
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.

French wrought iron chandeliers are defined by hand-forged iron frames, intricate scrollwork, and often feature foliate motifs. They frequently combine painted or gilded accents with cut glass or crystal droplets to reflect light.

Craftsmen shaped wrought iron using traditional blacksmithing techniques, creating curved arms and central columns bound by rivets or collars. The finished frames were painted or gilded, and fitted with candle sconces and crystal drops attached via wire pins.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-forging, such as slight asymmetry in the metalwork and visible joinery like rivets. Older fixtures may also show historic rewiring, natural oxidisation on the iron, and hand-cut glass droplets.

A wrought iron chandelier acts as a focal point above a dining table, in an entryway, or suspended in a living area. Combining the structured metalwork with neutral walls or rustic wooden elements creates visual contrast within traditional or contemporary spaces.

Dust the frame regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft brush to protect painted or gilded surfaces. Clean individual crystal drops gently using a cloth dampened with a mild solution of isopropyl alcohol and water, avoiding contact with gilded metal areas.
