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.
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.
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.

Nineteenth-century French gilded bronze chandeliers are characterised by cast bronze construction finished with gold leaf or mercury gilding. They frequently incorporate classical motifs such as acanthus foliage, classical masks, garlands, and scrolling arms influenced by Louis XVI and Empire styles.

These light fixtures were crafted using lost-wax or sand-casting techniques for the bronze sections. The individual cast components were chased by hand to add fine texture, then gilded and assembled with threaded iron rods and central collars.

Authentic pieces feature sharp hand-chasing on the casting, heavy cast bronze weight, and historical gilding methods which show light surface oxidisation in recessed areas. Original fixtures often show evidence of historical conversion from candles or gas to electricity.

A gilt bronze light fixture serves as a central focal point suspended above a dining table, within a formal entrance hall, or in a drawing room. Pairing gilded metalwork with neutral walls or high ceilings highlights the architectural silhouette of the metal frame.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical metal polishes and abrasive cleaners, as these can strip historical gilding and alter the original patination.
