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.
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.
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.

French Rococo lighting is identified by its ornate, asymmetrical designs, fluid curves, and nature-inspired ornamentation such as acanthus leaves, shells, and floral garlands. Frames are typically constructed from cast bronze or brass, holding clear or decorated glass panels.

Lanterns from this era were primarily constructed using cast brass or gilt bronze (ormolu) for the frame. Panels were made from hand-cut, etched, or frosted glass to soften and diffuse the light from internal candles or early electric fittings.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy, cast metal components with detailed hand-chasing rather than thin stamped metal. Look for signs of age in the metal patina, sharp casting seams on unexposed surfaces, and hand-etched patterning on the glass panels.

An ornate brass lantern provides a focal point when installed in contemporary entryways, stairwells, or above a kitchen island. Pairing historical brass fixtures with neutral colour palettes and clean architectural lines creates a balanced, layered design scheme.

Dust the metal and glass regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical polishes that can remove natural patina or damage delicate glass etching; clean glass panels gently with a mild damp cloth when necessary.
