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

Art Deco chandeliers typically feature geometric silhouettes, sunburst motifs, stepped profiles, and dramatic tiered crystal or glass drops reflecting early twentieth-century architectural movements.

These fixtures commonly utilise heavy moulded or cut crystal prisms, brass or steel structural frames, and mirrored glass backings designed to diffuse light evenly across expansive rooms.

Authentic period examples demonstrate period-appropriate metal patination, aged electrical housing, heavy cast components, and hand-fitted geometric crystal or glass sections rather than lightweight modern alloys.

A large-scale fixture functions as a primary focal element when positioned within double-height entrance foyers, central stairwells, or large open-plan dining halls requiring structured architectural height.

Regular dusting with a soft dry microfibre cloth is recommended, while individual glass elements can be wiped using a mild alcohol solution, ensuring metal structural elements remain free from moisture.
