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 lights are characterized by neoclassical symmetry, refined foliate carvings, fluted details, and delicate ribbon bow crests, reflecting a return to classical Greco-Roman proportions during late 18th-century France.

Authentic period wall sconces were predominantly cast in bronze or brass, which was then hand-chased and finished with mercury gilding (ormolu) or gold lacquer to create a rich metallic sheen.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast bronze construction, hand-chased crisp details on leaves and ribbons, tool marks or foundry stamps on the reverse, and natural oxidisation within the recessed cast elements.

Mounting sconces symmetrically on either side of a large chimneypiece mirror, artwork, or sideboard creates balance and adds tactile warm metallic tones to contemporary or traditional rooms.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or horsehair brush, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners or water, which can strip or damage sensitive original gilding and patina.
