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 Louis XVI style candelabra are defined by neoclassical symmetry, incorporating classical motifs such as urns, acanthus leaves, and fluted columns. They frequently combine gilded bronze mounts with white or coloured marble bases.

These pieces were crafted using cast bronze components that underwent mercury gilding to achieve a durable gold finish. The gilded metal mounts were then secured around hand-turned marble bodies using internal threaded iron rods.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-chased metal detailing, uneven wear to the gilding, hand-cut threaded rods, and natural oxidisation within interior recesses.

Symmetrical placement on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table balances modern minimalism with structured historical elements and metallic warmth.

Dust surfaces using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth. Avoid water, liquid detergents, and metal polishes, as abrasive substances damage mercury gilding and etch natural marble.
