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.
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.
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.

A pricket candlestick features a central vertical metal spike designed to secure large, thick candles, historically utilised in ecclesiastical and liturgical settings from the medieval period through the late 19th century.

Late 19th-century pricket candlesticks were typically cast in solid brass or bronze, featuring turned stems, wide drip pans to catch wax, and heavy tripod or circular bases for balance.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned or cast decorative details, substantial physical weight, visible joinery or threaded central rods, and minor surface casting variations consistent with period manufacturing.

Position them as a dramatic pair on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table to introduce warm metallic tone and historical structure into contemporary decorative schemes.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth; if polishing is required, apply a specialised brass cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh abrasives that could mark the metal surface.
