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

The Louis XVI style developed in the late eighteenth century as a return to classical antiquity, characterized by symmetrical proportions, foliate motifs, Greco-Roman drapery, and the integration of dark patinated bronze figures contrasted with gilded ornament.

High-grade nineteenth-century French candelabra were cast using bronze, featuring patinated surfaces for figures and mercury-gilded bronze (ormolu) for candle branches and accent mounts, typically mounted on marble or porphyry plinths.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display crisp hand-chased detail on the metalwork, threaded iron rod construction internally, heavy solid bronze casting, and age-appropriate wear or patination on the gilding and bronze surfaces.

Positioning a pair of figural candelabra symmetrically on a modern sideboard, marble mantelpiece, or console table creates architectural balance, anchoring contemporary schemes with historical contrast.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush; avoid liquid metal polishes or abrasive chemical cleaners, which can permanently strip historical gilding and patination.
