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

French 19th-century chandeliers are characterized by ornate gilt bronze or ormolu mounts, multi-arm configurations, and decorative glass or lead crystal pendants. Styles from this era often draw upon Rococo, Louis XV, and Neoclassical revival designs, incorporating figural elements such as cherubs, scrolling acanthus leaves, and floral accents.

These chandeliers were crafted using cast bronze treated with mercury gilding (ormolu) or lacquer to achieve a gold finish. They were adorned with hand-cut glass or lead crystal droplets, porcelain flower embellishments, and turned metal central columns.

Authentic period pieces feature heavy cast metal construction with precise hand-chased surface details rather than smooth modern machine finishes. Look for natural patination or rubbing on high points of the gilding, hand-cut glass prisms with slight irregularities, and evidence of historic conversion from gas or candles to electricity.

A gilt bronze chandelier serves as a central focal point when hung above a dining table, in a formal entryway, or over a sitting area. It complements traditional period decor as well as contemporary minimalist schemes, where the detailed metalwork provides texture and historical contrast.

Dust the metalwork and crystal droplets regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or ostrich feather duster. Avoid liquid chemical cleaners on gilded bronze to protect the historic patina; individual glass pendants can be wiped with a damp cloth moistened with diluted isopropyl alcohol.
