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

Rococo style chandeliers originate from eighteenth-century France, characterised by asymmetrical curves, elaborate leaf motifs, scroll arms, and ornate gilt finishes. These light fittings emphasise naturalistic forms such as acanthus foliage and C-scroll designs to create visual movement.

Historically, these light fittings were cast in brass or bronze using lost-wax or sand casting methods before being hand-chased for fine detail. The surfaces were treated through fire-gilding or electroplating with gold to produce a durable, reflective finish.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-chased details, threaded rod assemblies, subtle variations in cast metal thickness, and evidence of historical re-wiring. Wear on the gilding typically occurs on raised edges, while natural oxidisation accumulates in recessed areas of the casting.

An ornate gilt brass light fitting provides architectural contrast when hung above a minimalist dining table or within an entrance hallway featuring plain walls. The warm metal tones and sculptural branches complement both classic plasterwork and modern interior schemes.

Dust the fixture regularly using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a fine brush to clear recessed ornamentation. Avoid abrasive metal polishes or chemical cleaners that can remove delicate gilding, and ensure electrical components are checked by a qualified electrician.
