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

French Empire style lighting emerged in the early nineteenth century during Napoleon Bonapartes reign, characterised by symmetrical neoclassical forms, classical architectural motifs, and heavy gilding.

Traditional Empire sconces were constructed from cast bronze or brass, which was detailed with hand chasing and finished with fire-gilding or gold lacquer.

Authentic period fixtures display high-quality hand chasing, substantial weight, hand-cut screw threads on the reverse, and subtle surface oxidation consistent with age.

These fixtures are commonly positioned in pairs to flank a central architectural element, such as a fireplace mantel, artwork, or a large wall mirror, adding symmetrical warm light.

Dust gilt surfaces gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, metal polishes, or moisture that could damage the original gilded layer.
