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

A torchere is a tall, slender floor stand historically designed to elevate candles, oil lamps, or candelabra above ambient room height to distribute light effectively.

Traditional ebonised torcheres were crafted from hardwoods such as beech, oak, or pearwood, treated with dark stain or lacquer to imitate ebony, and accented with gilt line work or cast brass mounts.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned column elements, hand-applied gilt incised lines, historical timber movement, and cast ormolu mounts with natural surface oxidisation.

A pair of tall torcheres can be positioned symmetrically to frame a grand doorway, mantlepiece, or window, holding potted flora, sculpted busts, or modern lamps.

Ebonised surfaces should be dusted with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth and occasionally buffed with clear beeswax, while metal mounts require gentle dry brushing to preserve original patina.
