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.
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.
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.

Glass lustres are ornamental vessels developed during the nineteenth century, designed to display on mantelpieces or sideboards to reflect light using suspended cut-crystal prisms.

They were crafted from blown glass coloured with copper or gold oxides, decorated with hand-applied enamel and gilding, and fitted with lead crystal drop prisms.

Authentic nineteenth-century lustres typically display pontil marks on the base, hand-painted enamel detailing rather than transfer prints, and heavy cut lead crystal prisms attached with wire pins.

Place them symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece or console table to add balance, visual weight, and rich colour contrast within modern interior schemes.

Dust the glass stems and crystal drops with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion or chemical solvents that could strip gilded or enamelled surface details.
