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.

Rococo Revival wall sconces from the 19th century feature asymmetrical scrolls, foliate motifs, shell carvings, and figurative elements such as mascarons. Derived from 18th-century French designs, these fixtures emphasis fluid curves and heavy relief work executed in cast metals.

These wall lights were crafted using heavy cast bronze or brass, which was subsequently hand-chased to sharpen surface details. The finished pieces were treated with fire-gilding (ormolu) or lacquer to produce a bright gold finish.

Authentic period sconces exhibit substantial physical weight, distinct hand-chasing marks along the scrollwork, and threaded rod constructions securing the arms to the backplate. The reverse side typically shows unpolished, oxidised metal rather than uniform modern plating.

Gilt bronze sconces can be mounted on either side of a mantlepiece, overmantel mirror, or large framed artwork to create structural symmetry. They add architectural texture to neutral walls and can be left unwired for candle illumination or adapted for modern electrical fittings.

Dusting should be performed regularly using a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth. Abrasive chemical polishes and solvent cleaners must be avoided, as they strip the original gilding and alter the aged patina.
