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.

Machine Age lighting from the 1930s focuses on industrial aesthetics, streamlined silhouettes, and functional geometry. Design elements typically incorporate tiered shades, polished chrome, and minimalist structural forms inspired by modern transport and industrial manufacturing.

Lamps from this period were predominantly crafted using chrome-plated brass or steel, Bakelite, and turned hardwoods. These materials provided durability and contrast between metallic reflections and warm natural textures.

Authentic pieces often feature original cloth-covered wiring remnants, age-appropriate pitting or oxidation on chrome surfaces, heavy cast bases, and stamped manufacturer or patent markings beneath the base structure.

A 1930s chrome lamp functions effectively on modern office desks, sideboards, or bedside tables. Its metallic finish complements minimalist wooden furniture, dark paint schemes, and industrial steel accents.

Clean chrome surfaces using a soft microfiber cloth and a mild non-abrasive metal polish to remove tarnish without scratching the plating. Ensure electrical components remain dry and consult a qualified electrician for necessary rewiring.
