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.

This French nineteenth-century centrepiece combines cut crystal and gilt bronze. The navette-shaped clear glass bowl displays diamond-cut hobnail patterning, fitted with a gilt bronze rim and dual scroll handles. Supported on a faceted stem rising from a square crystal base, the assembly rests upon four ornate paw feet finished in gold. It measures 21 cm high, 40 cm wide and 17 cm deep. Placed upon a dining table center, this decorative bowl suits a variety of residential settings, both contemporary and traditional. The clear glass and gold-coloured metal complement existing surfaces and table settings while holding seasonal displays or acting as a standalone accent piece in a French chateau or classical interior.

FAQs

During the late 19th century, French decorative artists combined heavy lead crystal with gilded bronze mounts, creating elaborate table centrepieces designed for formal dining rooms and salon displays.

Craftsmen hand-cut thick crystal using wheel-engraving techniques, framing the glass with cast bronze or brass mounts that were gilded using traditional electroplating or gilt application methods.

Authentic pieces feature sharp, hand-cut crystal patterns, precise casting detail on the metal mounts, natural age-related oxidisation on the metalwork, and hand-fitted structural joins.

Position the vessel as a focal point on a dark wooden dining table, modern marble sideboard, or entry console, leaving it empty or filling it with simple floral displays to maximize light refraction.

Dust the metal mounts gently with a soft dry brush without harsh chemical polishes, and wipe the glass carefully with a lint-free damp cloth to clean the faceted surfaces.
