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 eighteenth-century France, these ceiling fixtures combine cast bronze scrollwork, often gilded with gold lacquer or electroplating, with hanging lead crystal prisms designed to refract candle light.

Craftsmanship involved hand-casting bronze components using the lost-wax process, chasing decorative scroll details, applying gilding, and hand-cutting lead crystal pendants attached with brass wire pins.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast bronze frames rather than lightweight stamped brass, hand-cut crystal drops with subtle variation, and historical wiring conversions or original candle sockets.

Positioning a focal ceiling light above a contemporary dining table or within an entrance hall creates a stark structural juxtaposition between historical metalwork and modern minimalist lines.

Clean crystal drops individually using a damp microfibre cloth and mild alcohol solution, while avoiding abrasive polishes on the gilded bronze to preserve the patinated finish.
