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 crystal chandeliers typically feature a tiered cage or frame design crafted from gilded brass or bronze, decorated with faceted glass or crystal drops, candle sleeves, and central glass accents. Historically popular from the 18th century onwards, these lighting fixtures were engineered to reflect candlelight across grand reception spaces.

Traditional French chandeliers feature frames of cast bronze or wrought brass, finished with gold leaf gilding or lacquer. The decorative pendants consist of hand-cut glass or lead crystal drops attached via wire linkages, supported alongside faux candle sleeves that originally held wax candles.

Authentic period chandeliers often display subtle variations in hand-cut crystal facets, small air bubbles within the glass, and hand-formed wire connectors. Metal frameworks show signs of cast tooling, natural surface oxidisation, and hand-chased detail rather than uniform machine moulding.

A French crystal chandelier serves as a primary focal point when suspended above a dining table, within a central foyer, or over a sitting room arrangement. Pairing classic gilded crystal lighting with clean architectural lines creates architectural contrast through juxtaposed textures.

Dust crystal drops regularly using a soft feather duster or microfibre cloth. For thorough maintenance, wipe individual glass prisms using a solution of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol, avoiding harsh chemical sprays that could compromise metal gilding or lacquer coatings.
