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.

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 French cage chandelier is a decorative lighting fixture characterised by an openwork cast metal frame, often gilded bronze or brass, forming a cage-like outer shape. Developed in 18th-century France, these chandeliers feature central glass stems and are ornamented with hanging crystal pendeloques.

Traditional French chandeliers were crafted using cast bronze or brass finished with fire-gilding or lacquer. The suspended decorative drops were made from hand-cut lead crystal or molded glass suspended by copper or brass wire connectors.

Authentic period chandeliers feature hand-chased metal castings with slight surface variations, hand-cut glass droplets, and wire-bound connections. Evidence of historical conversion to electricity and natural oxidation in unpolished metal crevices also indicate age.

A French crystal chandelier functions as a focal point when suspended above a dining table or centred in a grand hallway. Juxtaposing ornate metalwork against simple contemporary architectural lines enhances the visual interest of the space.

Clean individual crystal drops by wiping them gently with a microfibre cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. Avoid harsh chemical polishes on gilded bronze or brass to preserve the original patina and protective finishes.
