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.

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

Louis XVI style wall lights feature symmetrical neoclassical design elements inspired by Greek and Roman antiquity, including laurel leaf swags, draped garlands, fluted candle nozzles, and central urn backplates.

Nineteenth-century French sconces were typically cast in heavy bronze or brass, finished with gilt ormolu techniques, and meticulously chased by hand to define fine details in the relief work.

Authentic pieces feature sharp hand-chased surface details, significant weight from cast metal construction, threaded rod assembly behind the backplate, and age-consistent patination or minor wear to the gilding in low-relief areas.

Gilt wall lights add architectural character when installed in pairs flanking a mantlepiece, framing a large central artwork, or mounted on a dark-painted feature wall to maximize contrast with the metallic finish.

Dust gilt bronze regularly using a soft, dry bristle brush or clean microfibre cloth, avoiding commercial metal polishes, chemical solvents, or water, which can stripped or damage original surface gilding.
