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

Originating in Italy, Florentine pricket sconces are decorative wall-mounted candle holders featuring hand-carved architectural scrollwork and a vertical metal spike, or pricket, designed to secure thick wax candles prior to the widespread use of socket holders.

These sconces were typically hand-carved from lightweight timber, coated in layers of gesso plaster, and finished with tempera paint or leaf gilding. Metal elements, such as iron or brass, were forged to create the central candle prickets and drip pans.

Authentic period examples demonstrate signs of hand-tooling on the wooden reverse, layered gesso revealing wood grain beneath, natural shrinkage cracks along joinery lines, and authentic oxidisation on metal prickets rather than modern uniform distressing.

Decorative carved sconces are commonly hung in symmetrical pairs to flank larger focal points, such as overmantel mirrors, chimneypieces, or large canvas paintings, adding classical relief and height to vertical wall spaces.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid flaking fragile painted gesso. Avoid liquid cleaners or damp cloths, keep away from direct heat sources, and ensure real candles are not left burning down to the wooden frame.
