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 figural candelabra typically feature sculpted classical or mythological figures, such as cherubs or putti, holding candle branches. They are characterised by the contrasting use of dark patinated bronze for the figures and mercury-gilded bronze (ormolu) for the base and candle nozzles.

These items were predominantly cast in bronze using the lost-wax process. The components were then finished using techniques such as hand-chasing, dark patination using chemicals or lacquer, and fire-gilding (ormolu) using a mercury-gold amalgam.

Authentic period pieces show precise hand-chased details in the metal, threaded rod construction connecting the sectional cast pieces, and weight characteristic of solid bronze. The gilt surfaces often exhibit soft wear patterns consistent with age rather than uniform modern electroplating.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table provides structural balance and historical contrast against contemporary backdrops. Their dual-tone metal palette pairs well with both minimalist and classic interior schemes.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical polishes, abrasive cleaners, or water, as these can strip the delicate gilded layer or alter the original dark patina.
