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, or appliques, are characterised by Neoclassical design principles focusing on symmetry, straight lines, and motifs derived from classical antiquity. Common elements include ribbon bows, quivers, foliate scrolls, and drapery swags cast in bronze.

These fixtures were manufactured using the lost-wax casting method for bronze components, which were then hand-chased to refine intricate surface details. The metal was fire-gilded using mercury and gold amalgam, creating a durable layer of gilding over the heavy bronze base.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast bronze construction, sharp hand-chiselled detailing on the metalwork, and irregularities typical of hand manufacturing. Original threaded connections, historical iron mounting plates, and natural oxidisation in unpolished crevices also indicate period origin.

Position wall sconces symmetrically on either side of an architectural focal point, such as a mantelpiece, chimney breast, or large wall mirror. They serve to balance room proportions while adding metallic texture and targeted ambient lighting to high-end interiors.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush to prevent buildup in detailed carving. Avoid liquid abrasives, chemical metal polishes, or water, as these can strip original gilding and alter preserved patination; professional electrical rewiring should be undertaken by a qualified electrician.
