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.

Victorian candle lamps are self-feeding lighting fixtures developed during the nineteenth century, often featuring an internal spring mechanism that raises the candle as it burns to maintain a constant flame height.

These lamps were primarily crafted from cast or sheet brass, incorporating weighted bases for stability, cylindrical brass stems, and pierced brass crown galleries designed to support glass shades.

Authentic examples typically display evidence of historical hand-finishing, internal spring loading mechanisms, maker stamps or patent marks near the burner head, and characteristic patina in unpolished crevices.

Positioning a pair of polished brass candle lamps on a mantelpiece, dining sideboard, or console table creates symmetrical balance and introduces warm metallic tones to modern or classic decor.

Clean the surface regularly using a soft, dry lint-free cloth to remove dust, and apply a specialised brass polish sparingly if a bright finish is desired while avoiding abrasive materials on pierced detailing.
