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

A French cage chandelier is characterized by an openwork cast frame, typically in bronze or brass, shaped like a cage without a solid central column. This structural design allows light to pass through freely while supporting tiered branches hung with cut glass or crystal pendeloques.

Traditional construction relies on cast bronze or brass frames, often finished with mercury gilding or lacquer, paired with hand-cut lead crystal or molded glass drops. Candle sockets were historically made of brass, later converted to electric fittings with card or ceramic sleeves.

Authentic period pieces display hand-chased metal details, hand-cut glass or crystal prisms with minor variations, and original pinned wire connectors. Look for signs of age in the bronze patina, oxidisation on metal joins, and hand-formed threads on structural elements.

A gilded cage chandelier works as a focal point when suspended above a minimalist dining table or centered in a high-ceilinged hallway. Combining ornate classical lighting with modern architectural lines creates an intentional, balanced contrast.

Dust metal frames regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip gilding. Crystal drops should be wiped individually using a diluted solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water to restore clarity without damaging the wire pins.
