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

Figural candlesticks are decorative candle holders that incorporate three-dimensional human, mythological, or allegorical forms into their structural design. Popularised in the 18th and 19th centuries across Europe, they served as both functional lighting fixtures and sculptural decorative objects for dining tables and mantelpieces.

These pieces were commonly cast in bronze, brass, or iron, often featuring hand-chased details and multi-toned finishes. Artisans frequently combined dark patinated metal for the figural elements with gilded or ormolu bases and candle nozzles to create dynamic visual contrast.

Authentic antique examples often exhibit detailed hand-chasing, subtle surface wear consistent with age, and multi-part construction held together by threaded central rods or square nuts underneath the base. Foundry stamps, maker initials, or regional casting registration numbers may also appear on the underside.

Placing a pair of figural candlesticks on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table adds historical narrative and texture to contemporary spaces. Contrast dark patinated metal pieces against pale, minimalist backdrops or pair them with traditional woodwork for a layered aesthetic.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth to prevent accumulation in crevices. Avoid chemical polishes or water-based cleaners, as these can strip original patination and gilding; specialized conservation wax should only be applied sparingly if necessary.
