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

Art Nouveau metalwork, popular between 1890 and 1910, is characterised by sinuous, organic lines inspired by nature. Decorative objects frequently feature stylized flora, flowing drapery, and naturalistic female figures integrated into functional forms.

Art Nouveau figural candlesticks were typically cast in pewter, bronze, or spelter. Pewter was particularly favoured in France and Germany for its soft lustre, low melting point, and suitability for detailed casting using sand or lost-wax techniques.

Authentic period pieces often feature cast signatures or foundry marks near the base, alongside natural age-related oxidisation in recessed areas. Original castings exhibit smooth, flowing contours without sharp modern mold lines or machine-tooled finishes.

Place a pair of figural metal candlesticks on a dark wood sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to create visual symmetry. They complement minimal modern backgrounds by serving as sculptural accent pieces.

Clean pewter pieces gently using a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, avoiding abrasive polishes or chemical solvents that strip historical patination. Ensure candle wax drip accumulation is removed using warm water rather than metal tools.
