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.

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 twentieth century French hanging lantern brings classic style to domestic interiors, suspended by a gold-coloured brass link chain against ceilings in hallways, kitchens, or living spaces. The piece combines a transparent faceted moulded glass body with polished gold-coloured brass elements, including an ornate coronet mount featuring scrolling supports at the top and a pointed finial at the base. Visible details include vertical and diagonal moulded facets across the glass shade, decorative ribbing on the upper brass collar, and a substantial brass suspension loop attached above the scrolling crown. The lantern measures 33 cm in height, 11 cm in width, and 11 cm in depth, with an additional chain length of 55 cm, providing compact overhead lighting when wired with a standard bayonet bulb holder.

FAQs

Originating in 19th and early 20th-century France, these compact ceiling fixtures feature pressed or moulded glass shades encased in brass frames to diffuse light efficiently in entryways and corridors.

They are typically constructed with cast or stamped brass fittings, featuring ornate crowns and lower finials, paired with thick pressed glass designed to cast geometric light patterns.

Look for natural surface patina or oxidisation on the brass, hand-assembled chain loops, casting seam lines on the glass, and period-appropriate threaded fittings rather than modern metric threads.

Hang a small glass lantern in a narrow hallway, cloakroom, or utility room, or suspend a cluster at varying heights over a kitchen island to blend period character with contemporary spaces.

Wipe the glass periodically with a damp lint-free cloth and buff the brass with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could strip historic patina.
