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

Cherub motifs, or putti, became prominent during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, symbolising innocence and classical mythology. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Italian and French craftsman incorporated sculpted winged figures into chandeliers and sconces to support lighting elements.

These lighting fixtures were typically manufactured using cast bronze, spelter, carved wood, or brass, finished with gold leaf or gilding wax. The light fittings frequently incorporate cut glass or lead crystal droplets to refract light.

Authentic period pieces show hand-carved or hand-cast details, age-appropriate wear to the gilding, and early assembly construction such as square nuts or hand-cut screws. Modern electrical wiring or plastic light sockets indicate later conversion or reproduction.

Position the fixture centrally in a hallway, bedroom, or powder room to create a focal point. Pairing decorative classical lighting with neutral walls and contemporary furniture highlights the sculpted form of the piece.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth or feather duster, avoiding water or chemical polish which can strip gold leaf. Clean glass crystal droplets individually using a mild isopropyl alcohol and water solution.
