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

Italian musical trophy sconces typically feature hand-carved relief work depicting central instruments such as violins, lutes, and horns, framed by laurel leaves, drapery, and ribbon bow cresting influenced by late eighteenth-century Neoclassical design.

These fixtures are constructed from carved softwoods like lime or pine, coated with layers of gesso, and finished with gold leaf applied via water or oil gilding processes, alongside metal candle arms and drip pans.

Look for visible tool marks from hand carving, natural shrinkage cracks along wood grain joints, remnants of white gesso underlying worn gilding, and evidence of historic conversions from wax candles to electrical fittings.

Mount them as a pair flanking a large mantelpiece mirror, positioning them above a sideboard, or placing them on either side of a hallway doorway to introduce architectural height and classical texture.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or feather duster; water and liquid polishing agents must be avoided as they dissolve the water-soluble gesso base and strip original gilding.
