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

French Rococo chandeliers from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries feature asymmetrical foliage, acanthus scrolls, and cast bronze or brass frames finished in gilding. They are characterized by tiered arms decorated with hand-cut crystal droplets and central glass elements designed to maximize light reflection.

These lighting fixtures were primarily constructed using cast bronze or brass, which was then gilded using techniques such as mercury fire-gilding or electroplating. The decorative hanging drops were cut from lead crystal or molded glass, suspended on brass wire pins.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-casting, such as slight irregularities in the metalwork and visible assembly seams or threaded square nuts. The crystal elements typically exhibit hand-cut facets with slight variations in size, and the gilt metal may display natural oxidisation or wear in handles and high-contact areas.

A large French gilt chandelier serves as a focal point above a dining table, in a grand entrance foyer, or positioned centrally in a high-ceilinged drawing room. Pairing an ornate metallic fixture with modern, neutral backgrounds creates a stark textural contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the piece.

Dust the frame and crystals regularly using a soft feather duster or dry microfibre cloth. For deeper cleaning, wipe individual crystals with a diluted solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water, taking care to avoid wetting the gilt metal finish which can tarnish or degrade under harsh chemicals.
