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

During the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, early domestic electrical fixtures incorporated porcelain insulation, brass covers, and wooden levers to operate simple mechanical circuits safely.

Early switches were constructed with non-conductive white ceramic or porcelain bases, brass or copper domed covers, and hardwood levers or toggles mounted to wooden backplates.

Authentic period light switches feature heavy cast brass components, fired ceramic interior bases, slotted brass screws, and hand-machined elements rather than modern uniform plastic components.

Original switches are often restored for decorative display, adapted for low-voltage systems, or installed in heritage restoration projects to maintain historical accuracy.

Clean porcelain elements using a soft damp cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip original brass patinas, and treat exposed timber backplates with natural wax paste.
