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.

Louis XVI lighting is defined by Neoclassical design principles, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Common features include symmetry, fluted columns, caryatid figures, laurel wreaths, and refined chased ormolu mountings.

Ormolu lamps were crafted from cast bronze that was mercury-gilded to achieve a durable golden finish. High-quality pieces feature cold-chased detailing performed by skilled artisans before wiring or fuel mechanisms were integrated.

Authentic ormolu displays precise hand-chasing, heavy weight due to solid bronze casting, and natural wear patterns where the gilding has oxidized or softened over time. Reproductions often use lighter brass or lacquered finishes with less distinct cast details.

A Neoclassical ormolu lamp acts as a sculptural focal point when placed atop a streamlined modern console or marble sideboard. Pair it with a neutral silk shade to balance the rich metallic tones against contemporary, minimalist backdrops.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical metal polishes, abrasive cleansers, or water, as these will strip or damage the delicate gold layer.
