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

An articulated candelabra features movable or hinged arms, often controlled by cogs or gear mechanisms, allowing the user to alter the width and height of the light sources. Popularised during the Victorian era, these mechanical items combine industrial engineering with decorative Gothic Revival design.

Victorian mechanical candelabras were predominantly constructed from solid cast and sheet brass, utilising hand-finished joinery, turned shafts, and precision-cut gearing. The structural components were assembled with slotted brass screws and rivets to facilitate smooth mechanical motion.

Authentic pieces exhibit crisp cast details, hand-pierced openwork decoration, and period-accurate construction like hand-cut screws rather than modern machine fasteners. They display natural oxidisation within low-relief areas and minor surface variance consistent with manual craftsmanship.

Position the piece as a central statement on a dining table, fireplace mantelpiece, or dark wood sideboard to provide contrast against contemporary decor. Complement the structured metalwork by pairing it with neutral, tall taper candles.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a non-abrasive brass cleaner to remove tarnish while preserving the underlying patina. Avoid harsh chemical solvents or immersion in water, which can damage internal mechanisms and strip historic surface finishes.
