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

A birdcage chandelier features an open central frame constructed from gilded bronze or brass, shaped similarly to a traditional birdcage, allowing an unobstructed view of the internal stem and suspended crystal drops.

These ceiling light fixtures are typically crafted from cast bronze or brass with gilt finishes, combined with hand-cut crystal prisms, teardrops, and faceted glass beads.

Authentic pieces often display hand-chased metalwork, natural surface patination or wear to the gilding, hand-cut glass prisms with subtle irregularities, and period-appropriate sconce construction.

Position the fixture as a focal point above a dining table, in an entryway, or over a central sitting area to contrast ornate classical metalwork against minimalist contemporary decor.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and clean glass drops individually using a mild isopropyl alcohol and water solution while avoiding harsh liquid cleaners on the gilded bronze metalwork.
