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 French chateau style chandelier dates from 1920 and takes fifteen lights across a double-tiered arrangement. The piece is constructed from warm gold gilded bronze and glass, featuring scrolled arms, candle sleeves, glass bobeche drip pans, faceted crystal drops, and a crown finial. The ornate central column has a twisted and foliated design with a scrolling leaf canopy. The fitting measures 92 cm high, 74 cm wide, and 74 cm deep, excluding the original chain and ceiling rose. This chandelier provides ambient illumination in a main reception room, a grand dining space, or a traditional hallway in a home today.

FAQs

Traditional French gilt bronze chandeliers feature cast alloy frameworks treated with gold leaf or mercury gilding, typically adorned with hand-cut glass or crystal prisms and scroll arms designed to support multiple light sources.

Classic chandeliers of this period are constructed from cast brass or bronze for the structural framework, accompanied by clear lead crystal or glass droplets, candle sleeves, and iron central supporting rods.

Authentic period fixtures demonstrate hand-chased metalwork details, hand-pinned crystal drops, irregular bubble inclusions within the glass, and natural oxidisation on unexposed metal surfaces.

Designers suspend tiered chandeliers above dining tables, entry hall centres, or living room seating areas to create a striking focal point that contrasts with minimalist or contemporary furnishings.

Dust the crystal drops and bronze framework regularly using a soft lint-free cloth or dry feather duster, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that may strip patinated or gilded metal surfaces.
