Dealers Notes

French Antiques and Objets d'art

We specialise in French antiques and work with interior designers, trade and retail in the UK and worldwide. Every piece is examined and restored when necessary to a very high standard by a professionally trained restorer with years of experience.

We have an online store and viewing in person is unfortunately not an option. If you wish to return an item please send us written notification within 48 hours of receipt. Returns can be made up to 14 days after delivery. The item must be returned in the same condition as it left and a full refund less any delivery and return delivery costs incurred by us will be issued.

Packing and Delivery

We ship larger pieces, such as tables and washstands, with specialised couriers and smaller pieces, such as sculptures and lights, with FedEx or the post.

We take great care to ensure that our pieces are well-packaged for transport. Deliveries take on average between 1 week and 3 weeks (possibly longer, depending on your location, times of year and any other factors).

We have stock in Kent and France and can provide quotes to deliver from both stores.

Please contact us by email or Whatsapp Link if you need a quote.

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.
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.

A ships globe lantern is a traditional maritime lighting fixture designed with a bulbous glass shade enclosed within a protective metal cage to withstand harsh sea conditions.

These fixtures were typically constructed from robust, corrosion-resistant metals such as heavy brass, copper, or painted iron, surrounding thick blown glass globes designed to shield the illumination source from wind and water spray.

Authentic period lanterns frequently display maker stamps, naval brass badges, heavy casting marks, original oil burner conversion fittings, and signs of operational wear or oxidisation beneath paint layers.

A rewired maritime lantern serves as a functional statement piece on a console table, bookshelf, or desk, adding visual texture and historical character to coastal or industrial interior schemes.

Clean the exterior glass globe with a lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner, while gently dusting the painted metal body with a dry soft brush to prevent moisture accumulation and preserve existing paint finishes.
