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

Louis XVI style wall sconces are defined by neoclassical design elements inspired by classical antiquity, featuring symmetrical proportions, fluted columns, foliage scrolls, and decorative ribbon-bow crestings.

Authentic French wall sconces were typically cast in bronze or brass, often utilizing the lost-wax casting technique before being mercury-gilded or patinated to create a durable, lustrous finish.

Original period pieces feature hand-chased surface detailing, visible casting seams, authentic threaded bolts, and natural oxidisation on unpolished reverse surfaces.

Mount these sconces flanking a chimney breast mirror, positioned above a sideboard, or along a corridor to bring warm accent illumination and architectural interest to contemporary rooms.

Dust regularly with a dry soft brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh metal polishes, solvent cleaners, or abrasive materials that can erode the original gilded finish.
