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.

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

Venetian altar candlesticks are ecclesiastical candle holders crafted in Venice, typically characterised by ornate giltwood carvings, mirrored glass inserts, and triform bases influenced by Baroque design.

These pieces were typically constructed from hand-carved wood, coated with gesso, and finished with gold leaf gilding alongside mercury glass or silvered mirrored glass panels.

Authentic examples feature hand-carved joinery, natural age-related wear to the gesso and gold leaf, hand-blown glass insets exhibiting oxidisation, and original iron pricket spikes.

Positioning a pair on a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard creates symmetrical height and adds reflective texture to modern rooms.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasives that can strip delicate gilding or erode mirrored glass backing.
