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.

This Edwardian French Empire style chandelier takes a tent and basket form, constructed from cut crystal, gilt bronze and brass in gold and clear colourways. The upper section consists of numerous vertical beaded crystal strands cascading downward to a central chased leaf motif band, below which a lower bag section of uniform glass beads forms a rounded basket ending in a small bottom finial. A decorative gilt ceiling rose surmounts the piece, and cast ormolu mounts secure the structure. The chandelier measures 190 cm high, 47 cm wide and 47 cm deep. It functions as overhead room illumination suitable for high-ceilinged interiors such as entrance halls, dining rooms or reception spaces.

FAQs

Empire style chandeliers typically feature an upper tent of beaded crystal cascading to a wide central metal band and a rounded lower basket, a design prevalent in early nineteenth-century European lighting.

These fixtures are constructed using hand-cut glass or lead crystal beads strung on fine wire, framed by cast brass or mercury-gilded bronze (ormolu) decorative mounts.

Authentic pieces feature hand-chased metalwork, slight structural variations in hand-drawn glass beads, square-cut pin connectors, and natural oxidisation on internal iron frames.

A large chandelier serves as an anchor in high-ceilinged entry halls, dining rooms, or living spaces, providing textural contrast against minimalist or contemporary decor.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners that damage antique metal finishes, and clean crystal beads individually using a mild soap solution on a lint-free cloth.
