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

Originating in 18th-century France during the Louis XVI period, wall sconces decorated with musical trophies reflected the Neoclassical interest in the arts and pastoral themes. These decorative appliques typically featured carved instruments such as violins, horns, and sheet music tied with ribbon bow crests.

Traditional pieces were crafted from hand-carved hardwood or soft pine coated with gesso, followed by water gilding using real gold leaf. Some variations incorporated cast bronze or brass elements for structural candle branches.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carving marks on the reverse, signs of historic gesso layering, and natural wear or red bole showing through worn gold leaf. They also feature traditional hand-wrought iron fittings or square-headed fixings on the reverse.

Giltwood sconces can be hung flanking a central wall mirror, mantelpiece, or large artwork to create balance. They serve as sculptural decorative accents on neutral painted walls in dining rooms, hallways, or living spaces.

Dust giltwood surfaces regularly using a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush. Water and liquid cleaning products must be avoided, as moisture dissolves historic gesso and damages fragile gold leaf.
