Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

Mid-19th-century French porcelain lamps often adapt classical urn or vase silhouettes, featuring hand-painted central vignettes framed by heavy gilded scrollwork and cast brass or ormolu mounts.

These pieces typically feature hard-paste porcelain bases decorated with mineral pigments and gold leaf gilding, complemented by cast brass or bronze bases and fitments.

Authentic pieces display brushwork texture in hand-painted scenes, authentic age-related wear to gilding, cast metal fittings, and often evidence of conversion from oil or fluid lamps to electric power.

Position the lamp on a sideboard, console table, or bedside chest paired with a neutral pleated or silk lampshade to balance the detailed gilding against modern surrounds.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners or abrasive materials that can strip hand-applied gilding or damage electrical wiring.
