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 French gilt bronze chandelier typically features a cast bronze frame finished with gold leaf or ormolu gilding, adorned with cut crystal or glass prisms. Originating in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these fixtures were designed to reflect light across grand reception rooms.

Traditional pieces feature a cast bronze or brass central frame decorated with scrollwork or acanthus leaves, mercury-gilded or gold-lacquered, and fitted with glass or crystal drops suspended by hand-bent wire pins.

Look for hand-chased metal details, casting seams, age-appropriate oxidisation on the underside of arms, and hand-cut glass or crystal drops pinned with vintage metal wire.

Suspend the fixture above a minimalist dining table or in a high-ceilinged entrance hall to create a focal contrast between classical ornamentation and clean contemporary lines.

Dust regularly with a soft feather duster, and clean individual crystal drops with a mild solution of warm water and isopropyl alcohol, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on the gilded metal surfaces.
