Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

French Neoclassical lighting draws inspiration from classical Greek and Roman motifs, incorporating symmetrical forms, lyre shapes, acanthus leaves, and gilded metalwork popularised during the 18th and early 19th centuries.

These lighting fixtures are typically constructed from cast bronze or brass, which is finished with gilding or lacquer and fitted with frosted, clear, or moulded glass shades.

Authentic period lighting features heavy cast bronze components rather than thin stamped metal, precise hand-chased detailing, and natural oxidisation on non-gilded or exposed surface areas.

Position the chandelier suspended above a dining table, centrally in an entrance hall, or within a formal sitting room to create a focal point against neutral walls or traditional panelling.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or delicate brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, metal polishes, or abrasive chemical solvents.
