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 pair of 19th Century French Empire candlesticks is formed from brass with a polished golden finish and silver-toned accents. Each piece stands upright on a circular stepped base featuring embossed geometric borders, supporting a tapered shaft decorated with diagonal engine-turned fluting. The upper section includes ornate bands of stamped neoclassical moulding beneath a wide flared drip pan rim. Measuring 21 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 10 cm deep, the pair sits compactly upon surfaces. Traditional mantelpieces and dining sideboards provide ideal settings for this matching duo, where they function as ambient candle holders or decorative table accessories. Their metallic lustre reflects light across interiors, whilst the classical proportions bring a refined French Chateau aesthetic to formal reception rooms, studies, or entrance hallways.

FAQs

French Empire style candlesticks typically date from the early 19th century and feature classical motifs inspired by Greco-Roman design, characterised by heavy cast brass or bronze, straight or tapering shafts, and engine-turned surface patterns.

These items were primarily constructed from cast brass or gilt bronze, featuring detailed hand-chasing, engine-turned spiralling patterns, and internal assembly via central threaded iron rods.

Original pieces generally exhibit precise cast or engine-turned details, substantial weight due to solid metal construction, historical hand-cut screw threads inside, and natural surface oxidisation or wear to the lacquered finish.

Positioning a pair on a mantelpiece, dining table, or sideboard top introduces geometric structure and warm metallic tones alongside modern furnishings.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical abrasives or metal polishes that can remove historic surface patination or original protective coatings.
