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

Victorian turned wood lamp bases often feature sculptural baluster or column forms crafted on a lathe, drawing inspiration from classical balustrades and architectural woodwork.

These pieces were typically hand-turned from native softwood species like pine, assembled in sections around a central channel for wiring or oil reservoirs, and coated in layered paint or varnish.

Authentic period examples display natural age-related paint wear, evidence of historical rewiring or oil lamp conversion, and subtle irregularities from hand-lathe turning.

Pairing turned wooden bases with neutral fabric shades allows them to serve as tactile accent pieces on sideboards, consoles, or bedside tables in contemporary or traditional settings.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid chemical cleaners or excessive moisture, which can loosen flaking paint layers or compromise the timber.
