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.

Converted candlestick lamps are original metal or wooden candleholders from the 18th or 19th centuries that were professionally adapted for electrical use during the early 20th century to provide functional modern illumination while preserving historical metalwork.

Early 19th-century candlesticks were typically cast in solid brass or bronze, featuring hand-chased ornamentation, turned columns, and weighted bases designed to support tall candles securely.

Authentic 19th-century pieces often display signs of casting seams, irregular hand-turned threading beneath the base, natural patina in hard-to-reach crevices, and signs of later electrical drill holes added during conversion.

Positioning a pair of ornate brass lamps on a modern sideboard, console, or marble-topped table creates visual balance through contrast, combining warm metallic tones and soft fabric light with clean architectural lines.

Dust metal bases regularly with a soft dry cloth and clean fabric shades using a soft brush; avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip protective lacquer or natural aged patina from the brass surface.
