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

Art Deco lighting from the 1930s is defined by geometric silhouettes, polished metal finishes, streamlined forms, and a balance of modern industrial aesthetics with functional illumination.

Designers combined early synthetic plastics such as Bakelite with metals like nickel, brass, chrome-plated steel, and opalescent or frosted glass shade elements.

Authentic Bakelite exhibits a notable density, seamless moulding marks, dark colour tones, and releases a faint distinctive scent when gently rubbed or exposed to warm water.

Place the piece on a dark wood writing table, a marble-topped sideboard, or a tailored study desk to serve as a functional sculptural focal point.

Dust metal surfaces with a dry microfibre cloth and clean Bakelite components using specialised non-abrasive plastic cream to preserve the original surface sheen.
