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 characteristically Neoclassical, incorporating symmetrical motifs such as ribbon bows, acanthus leaves, drape swags, and fluted candle nozzles inspired by classical antiquity.

Traditional French sconces were cast in bronze using lost-wax or sand-casting techniques, then hand-chased for fine detail before applying mercury gilding, known as ormolu, to create a durable metallic sheen.

Authentic pieces display hand-chiselled details, weight consistent with solid cast bronze, threaded assembly marks on the reverse, and minor uneven oxidisation or wear to the gilded layer over time.

Wall sconces are frequently mounted in pairs to flank architectural features such as mantelpieces, overmantel mirrors, or artwork, providing structured balance and subtle ambient illumination.

Cleaning should be limited to gentle dusting with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical polishes or water, which can strip original ormolu and lacquer finishes.
