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 pricket sconce is a wall-mounted lighting fixture incorporating a central spike or pricket upon which a wax candle is secured, rather than held within a standard cup socket.

Historically, these fixtures were crafted from dense hardwoods such as oak or walnut for the relief panels, paired with hand-forged iron or brass arms and candle cups.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-carving such as subtle tool marks and variations in relief depth, accompanied by natural age patina, historic oxidation on metal components, and traditional joint work.

Positioning a pair of sconces to flank a large architectural mirror, artwork, or fireplace creates balance, while the dark wood grain adds structural contrast against muted contemporary paint finishes.

Dust the carved relief regularly with a soft bristle brush. Apply a small amount of clear beeswax polish annually to protect the wood, and keep metal elements free from excess moisture to prevent corrosion.
