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 crystal chandeliers are defined by decorative scrolled metal frames, glass baluster stems, and multi-tiered arrangements of cut glass droplets or pendeloques. Historically produced during the 18th and 19th centuries, these fixtures were designed to maximize illumination from candles by reflecting light across faceted crystals.

These chandeliers typically feature a cast bronze or brass metal core finished with silver gilding or silver leaf. The decorative pendants are fashioned from leaded crystal or cut glass, mounted around a central blown glass stem and candle sleeves.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut glass facets with subtle irregularities, hand-formed metal armatures, and evidence of historic rewiring or candle sockets. Age-appropriate patination, wear to the gilding, and metal wire attachment pins on the crystal drops also indicate period construction.

A French chandelier can be suspended above a minimalist dining table or within a high-ceilinged entrance hall to create visual contrast. Pairing ornate gilded metalwork with understated neutral backdrops highlights the sculptural quality of the light fitting.

Dust the crystal drops regularly using a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth or feather duster. Avoid applying liquid chemical cleaners directly to the silver gilt framework, as moisture can cause tarnishing or degrade historic leaf coatings.
