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

Task lamps designed during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras focused on directional lighting for writing desks, libraries, and banking institutions. These lamps typically featured heavy cast metal bases for stability and adjustable shades to direct light onto documents.

Authentic period lamps were constructed primarily from solid cast or spun brass, often featuring weighted iron inserts within the base. Internal wiring was typically insulated with cotton-braided flex, and joints were secured with threaded brass thumbscrews or swivel fittings.

Original pieces display natural surface oxidisation and wear consistent with age, particularly around adjustment points and switches. Look for substantial weight, stamped maker marks or patent numbers, cast brass construction rather than plated steel, and period-appropriate electrical joints.

Place a brass task lamp on a dark timber writing desk, a modern console table, or a deep bookshelf to add warm metallic tones. The warm colour of aged brass contrasts effectively against contemporary matte paint finishes and neutral interior palettes.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to maintain the finish. Avoid abrasive metal polishes if you wish to preserve the natural aged patina, and ensure all electrical components are PAT tested and rewired by a qualified electrician prior to use.
