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

Half lanterns, or wall appliques, are semi-cylindrical lighting fixtures designed to mount flush against a wall surface, featuring curved glass panels and metal frames originating in 18th and 19th-century French architectural lighting.

These wall lights are typically constructed using cast or stamped brass, bronze, or gilt metal frames fitted with clear curved glass panels and internal candle-style socket sleeves.

Authentic period examples feature hand-chased metalwork details, original mounting hardware, natural patination or oxidisation to the gilt surfaces, and mouth-blown or hand-formed curved glass.

A pair of half lanterns can be mounted symmetrically on either side of a focal point, such as a hallway mirror, artwork, or doorway, providing ambient accent lighting.

Dust metal frame components and glass panels regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid metal polishes or abrasive chemicals that can erode delicate gilding.
