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

A French gilt bronze crystal chandelier typically features a cast bronze or brass central frame finished with gold leaf or fire-gilding, embellished with faceted glass or lead crystal pendants. The design often incorporates multiple tiers, curved candle arms, and elaborate scrollwork characteristic of French decorative arts.

Traditional construction relies on mercury-gilded bronze, solid cast brass, hand-cut glass, and lead crystal drops. The central column and candle sleeves were often shaped from turned metal or porcelain, supported by iron internal support rods.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-chased metalwork details, original threaded or pinned crystal mountings, and natural oxidisation on unexposed metal surfaces. Hand-cut crystals often display slight variations in shape and tiny air bubbles embedded within the glass.

Positioning a multi-tiered chandelier above a minimal dining table or within a high-ceilinged entrance hall creates a focal contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern architecture. Pairing elaborate lighting with neutral walls allows the intricate silhouette to stand out.

Dust the frame regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural feather duster without applying chemical polishes to the gilded metal. Individual crystal drops can be wiped with a solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water to restore clarity.
