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 Empire style lighting emerged during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, drawing heavy inspiration from ancient Roman, Greek, and Egyptian forms. Key features include symmetrical structures, classical columns, palm leaves, acanthus motifs, and a distinct contrast between dark patinated bronze and gilded surfaces.

High-grade cast bronze was the predominant material, often finished with mercury gilding (ormolu) or dark chemical patination. The combination of patinated and gilt bronze, known as parcel-gilt, was widely utilised to highlight decorative relief details against a dark backdrop.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy hand-cast bronze weight, precise chasing on surface details, and natural wear to the gilding along high-contact edges. Look for threaded iron rods inside constructed sections and evidence of historical conversions, such as drilling or added light sockets from the late 19th or early 20th century.

Position the piece on a dark wood sideboard, marble console, or writing desk to create a focal anchor. Pairing the structured, classical form of the metalwork with a simple silk shade balances historical detail with clean modern aesthetics.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush to prevent accumulation in detailed carvings. Avoid chemical polishes, water, or abrasive cleansers, as these can strip original patination and damage delicate mercury gilding.
