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

Louis XVI style wall sconces are typically inspired by classical antiquity, featuring symmetrical forms, ribbon bow crests, foliate swags, and fluted central backplates cast from gilded bronze or brass.

Historically crafted using lost-wax or sand casting techniques, these fixtures were made from bronze alloy and finished using mercury gilding or gold lacquer to produce a detailed, lustrous metallic surface.

Authentic pieces generally feature heavy cast metal construction, crisp hand-chased surface details, evidence of hand-cut threading or casting seams on the reverse, and natural patination across the gilded layer.

Mounting a pair flanking a central mirror, artwork, or mantelpiece creates architectural symmetry, while contrasting the warm gilded finish against dark paint tones highlights their classical silhouette.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, and avoid abrasive metal cleaners or solvent-based polishes that can strip away original gilding and historic surface patination.
