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

Popularised between 1910 and 1930, these lamps feature a weighted metal base and a flexible coiled gooseneck tube, allowing directional task lighting for reading and writing.

These lamps were primarily crafted from solid brass or brass-plated steel, featuring heavy cast lead or iron weights inside the base to maintain stability when the neck is fully flexed.

Authentic pieces typically feature natural brass patination, original push-bar or turn-key lamp sockets, heavy weighted stepped bases, and flexible coiled arm tubing rather than modern plastic or hinged joints.

Place the lamp on a modern wooden writing desk, an executive home office workspace, or an accent bookshelf to introduce metallic warmth and classic character.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical abrasives that strip aged surface finishes; ensure all internal electrical wiring is safely inspected and updated by a certified electrician.
