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

Originating in 17th-century France, the torchere was initially designed as a tall, slender candle stand to elevate lighting fixtures above eye level. Over the 18th and 19th centuries, Continental furniture makers adapted the form into decorative stands used to display sculptures, urns, and indoor houseplants.

Traditional torcheres are constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak. They typically feature hand-turned central columns, mortise and tenon joinery, and broad tripod or triangular bases engineered to maintain stability under top-heavy decorative objects.

Authentic period examples display signs of historical craftsmanship, such as hand-cut joinery on the underside, slight irregularities in hand-turned columns, and original patinated finishes within carved recesses. Checking the base for historic weight distribution features and authentic timber oxidisation also aids identification.

Position a torchere in an empty room corner, window bay, or beside a fireplace alcove to add vertical interest. Top it with a trailing houseplant, a ceramic vase, or a classical bust to draw the eye upward and balance low-profile contemporary seating.

Keep the wood preserved by dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Avoid placing the stand in direct sunlight or near radiator heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage and finish cracking.
