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

Italian polychrome wall lights are wall-mounted illumination fixtures originating from Italy, characterized by hand-painted finishes in multiple colours combined with gilded decorative accents.

Traditional construction features hand-carved timber backplates, gesso preparation layers, gold leaf gilding, and hand-wrought iron or brass scroll arms fitted with candle sockets.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved timber construction beneath painted surfaces, subtle rubbing to the gilding showing gesso or bole beneath, and historical electrical conversion marks.

They are typically positioned in pairs flanking central focal points such as overmantel mirrors, chimney breasts, artwork, or sideboards to introduce warm accent lighting and architectural symmetry.

Clean gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth to remove dust; liquids, solvents, and damp clothes must be avoided as they compromise water gilding and original paint layers.
