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

A Venetian torchere is a decorative tall stand or candlestick holder, originating from Venice, often featuring figurative hand-carved elements designed to hold candles, lamps, or decorative platters.

These pieces were typically carved from softwoods such as pine or lime, then polychromed, lacquered, or covered with gold leaf using traditional water-gilding techniques.

Authentic 19th-century Italian carvings display natural shrinkage cracks in the wood, hand-carved tool marks on unexposed areas, and multi-layered polychrome finish with genuine age-related patination.

A decorative Venetian torchere can serve as a focal architectural accent in a hallway, dining room, or drawing room, paired with understated contemporary furnishings to balance its ornate detailing.

Keep the carved wooden structure away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood cracking, dusting gently with a soft, dry camel-hair brush while avoiding liquid cleaners or solvents.
