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.

Ejector candlesticks, also known as push-up candlesticks, feature an internal sliding mechanism that allows the user to raise the candle stub as it burns down, minimising waste. They gained widespread popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly throughout the Victorian era.

Typically cast in solid brass, these candlesticks feature a hollow stem containing a rod attached to a side-mounted slider knob. The base is usually cast separately and threaded or riveted to the column, accompanied by a dished tray to catch wax drippings.

Authentic pieces often display hand-finished seams, cast brass construction with subtle weight irregularities, and functional internal sliding mechanisms. Look for natural wear inside the slider track alongside historical foundry or patent marks near the base.

Place a pair of brass candlesticks on a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard to add height and warm metallic tones. Their reflective surface complements neutral palettes, natural wood textures, and contemporary dinnerware.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and remove wax accumulation by gently pouring warm water over the metalavoid scraping with sharp implements. Use a non-abrasive brass polish sparingly to maintain surface shine, or leave untouched to allow a natural patina to develop.
