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 gilt bronze lighting fixtures, often referred to as ormolu, are distinguished by intricate cast metalwork coated in gilding or gold lacquer. These designs typically draw inspiration from Classical, Rococo, and Louis XV styles, featuring scrolling arms, acanthus motifs, and symmetrical balances.

These lighting fixtures were primarily constructed from cast bronze or brass, which was subsequently chased by hand to sharpen surface detail. The metal was finished with fire-gilding or gold patina and fitted with candle sleeves to house candles or early wiring.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased metal details, visible construction seams, and threaded assembly components rather than modern welds. The gilding often shows subtle surface wear or mild oxidisation in recessed areas consistent with age, while the underlying casting displays significant weight.

A French gilt bronze chandelier serves as a focal point when suspended above a dining table or in a central hallway. Pairing the detailed metalwork with minimalist surrounding decor, neutral colour palettes, or simple architectural mouldings creates a balanced juxtaposition between historical craftsmanship and modern design.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth to prevent dirt accumulation. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemical polishes that can strip original gilding; for deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly.
