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

A tent and waterfall chandelier features upper cascading strings of crystal beads tapering upwards to form a tent-like canopy, paired with a rounded lower section of crystals mimicking a flowing waterfall basket.

These light fixtures typically feature cast bronze or brass frames, often gilded with gold leaf or mercury amalgams, trimmed with hand-cut lead crystal drops and faceted glass beads.

Authentic period pieces display hand-chased bronze castings with natural patina, irregular wire ties connecting cut lead crystals, and evidence of historic conversion from wax candles or gas to electricity.

Suspend the fixture over a contemporary dining table or within an entrance hall to create a structured focal point that balances historic ornate metalwork with clean modern architecture.

Dust regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and clean individual crystal prisms using a mild solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water, avoiding harsh chemical sprays on the gilded metal frame.
