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

French gilt bronze chandeliers are characterised by cast metal frames decorated with classical, Rococo, or botanical motifs such as acanthus leaves, vine tendrils, and floral bobeches. Originating in 18th-century France, these designs emphasise intricate metalwork and balanced symmetry.

These light fittings were primarily constructed from cast bronze or brass, which was then hand-chased to sharpen ornamental details. The metal was often finished with fire-gilding (ormolu) or a bronze patina to protect the surface and enhance light reflection.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast bronze construction, hand-chased foliage details, and visible casting seams on the reverse of metal leaves. Original gilding shows subtle wear and oxidisation in crevices, distinct from uniform modern sprayed finishes.

Position the chandelier over a dining table or in a central entrance hall to create a focal point. Modern interiors benefit from pairing ornate gilt metalwork with neutral wall shades and minimalist furnishings to balance the decorative detail.

Dust the metalwork regularly with a soft, dry cloth or microfibre duster. Avoid abrasive chemical polishes, which can strip historic gilding or aged patinas, and ensure all electrical wiring is tested by a qualified electrician.
