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

French gilt bronze chandeliers typically feature cast bronze frames finished with gold leaf or fire-gilding, adorned with hand-cut crystal drops, glass prisms, and elaborate scrolling arms reminiscent of the Louis XV or Regency periods.

Traditional 19th-century chandeliers were crafted using cast bronze or brass frames, finished with gilding or protective lacquer, and draped with leaded crystal or moulded glass prisms held by fine metal wiring.

Authentic antique chandeliers feature heavy cast metal framework with crisp detailing, hand-cut crystal prisms showing slight natural variations, hand-bent wire attachments, and evidence of historical electrification conversion.

A French crystal chandelier can be suspended above a minimalist dining table or in an entrance hall to create contrast between historical detail and contemporary clean lines.

To clean an antique chandelier, dust the crystal drops individually with a dry microfibre cloth and clean metal elements using a soft brush, avoiding chemical cleaners that could strip original gilding or patina.
