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

French gilt chandeliers typically feature ornate cast metal or brass frames finished with gold leaf or gilding, adorned with cut glass or lead crystal pendants. Originating in 18th-century France, these fittings were crafted to reflect and amplify candle light across grand reception rooms.

Traditional construction incorporates a gilt metal or bronze armature, fitted with glass or rock crystal droplets, drops, and faceted prisms. Wire attachments secure the individual crystals to the scrolled arms, and candle sleeves conceal the lamp holders.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-chased metalwork, iron centre rods, and hand-cut glass droplets suspended by pin-wire hooks. Traces of oxidisation on the metal frame and slight irregularities in the cut glass droplets indicate period origin.

A gilt glass chandelier can serve as a focal centerpiece when suspended above a dining table, in a high-ceilinged entrance hall, or above a lounge seating arrangement. Pairing ornate gilded lighting with minimal, contemporary furnishings creates an engaging juxtaposition of textures.

Dust the frame and glass drops regularly using a soft feather duster. For deeper cleaning, wipe each glass drop individually using a lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol and distilled water, avoiding harsh chemicals on the gilded finish.
