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 early 20th century French Rococo chandelier presents a tent and waterfall profile constructed from silver-gilded metal, crystal, and glass. The structure incorporates six scrolling arms with leaf bobeche drip pans and etched candle sconces, issuing from a decorative central band displaying ornate floral embellishments and a foliated leaf canopy, complemented by swaged clear and blue crystal faceted pendants, dangling glass drops, and an original chain and ceiling rose. The piece has a silver and gold colour palette with touches of blue and orange. Measuring 99 cm high, 74 cm wide, and 74 cm deep excluding the chain and rose, the fitting is fully rewired and PAT tested for modern electrical safety standards. Designed for ceiling placement in a home, the fixture provides atmospheric lighting suited for a dining room, living room, or grand hallway interior. The silver-gilded finish and faceted crystal elements create light refraction when illuminated, whilst the traditional candle sleeves and floral metalwork accents offer decorative character reminiscent of a French chateau aesthetic. The chandelier comes supplied with bulbs and ceiling fixings, ready for installation to complement period or eclectic decorative schemes.

FAQs

A tent and waterfall chandelier features an upper section of beaded glass swags tapering downwards in a tent shape, combined with lower concentric tiers of hanging crystal drops that create a cascading waterfall effect.

Historical examples typically feature cast bronze or brass armatures finished with gold or silver leaf gilding, decorated with cut lead crystal prisms, coloured glass accents, and glass bead strands.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut glass facets with subtle variations, heavy metal armatures displaying natural surface patina or oxidisation, and traditional pinned metal wiring structures.

A tent and waterfall chandelier serves as a focal point above a dining table, within an entrance foyer, or positioned alongside understated modern furniture to create a balanced interior contrast.

Dust the crystal drops gently using a dry microfibre cloth, and wipe metal frame elements with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid polishes or abrasive chemicals that can strip original gilding.
