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

Italian polychrome wall lights typically feature hand-carved wooden bodies decorated with layered paint finishes and gilding, incorporating classical motifs such as turned balusters, acanthus leaves, and decorative finials.

These fixtures were constructed primarily from hand-carved wood, coated with gesso, and finished using tempera or oil-based paints alongside leaf gilding, with iron or metal arms fitted for candle sockets or early electrical wiring.

Authentic pieces display natural wear through the gesso layer, subtle cracking known as craquelure in the painted surfaces, period joining techniques, and minor hand-carved variations between matching pairs.

Placing a pair of antique sconces on either side of a contemporary mirror, art piece, or within a narrow hallway provides architectural structure and warmth, creating a refined contrast against minimalist or neutral backdrops.

Dust the carved surfaces gently with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, water, or chemical solvents that could dissolve the delicate paint layers or lift the gold leaf.
