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

Neo-Classical flaming torch wall lights are decorative wall-mounted lighting fixtures inspired by classical Greco-Roman iconography, where the frame replicates an ancient ceremonial torch topped with a flame-shaped light source.

These sconces are typically constructed from heavy cast bronze or brass finished with fire-gilding (ormolu) or lacquer, paired with frosted, etched, or moulded flame glass shades.

Authentic period pieces feature sharp hand-chased detailing in the metalwork, heavy cast construction rather than thin stamped metal, historical wiring entry points, and original frosted glass shades showing subtle manufacturing variations.

Mount them symmetrically in pairs to flank architectural features such as mantelpieces, artwork, or mirrors, providing vertical balance and warm accent illumination.

Dust metal surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth avoiding chemical polishes that strip gilding, and wash the glass shades separately using lukewarm water and mild detergent.
