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.

Nineteenth-century French chandeliers typically feature ornamental cast bronze or brass frames adorned with faceted crystal drops and prisms, drawing design influence from Rococo and Neoclassical periods.

These light fixtures were predominantly crafted using cast bronze or brass, which was gilded, alongside hand-cut crystal or lead glass drops attached with wire pins.

Authentic pieces display hand-chased bronze detailing, natural oxidisation in unpolished crevices, hand-cut crystal drops with minor hand-finishing variations, and historical electrification conversion marks.

A French crystal chandelier serves as a focal point when hung above a dining table or in a lofty entrance hall, providing textural contrast against clean architectural lines.

Dust crystal drops regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and clean them individually using a mild alcohol-and-water solution, avoiding abrasive chemicals on the gilded metalwork to preserve the patina.
