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.

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.

This pair of French Neoclassical candelabra from 1860 consists of dark bronze figures mounted on circular red marble plinths, accented with cylindrical bronze relief bands depicting cherubs playing. Each piece features a smiling putto wearing a head band of leaves and grapes, with outstretched arms holding scrolling branches that terminate in four candle sconces fitted with white candles. The figures sit on naturalistic bases atop classical pedestals detailed with stepped mouldings and turned red marble borders. The candelabra measure 73 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 25 cm deep. They function as striking ornamental lamps placed on a sideboard top or console table in a dining room, hallway, or living room within a French Chateau interior style.

FAQs

Inspired by the 18th-century sculptor Claude Michel (known as Clodion), these 19th-century revivals feature playful classical motifs, particularly cherubs, putti, and bacchanalian themes cast in dark patinated bronze, often mounted on marble bases.

High-end French candelabra from this era were typically constructed using lost-wax or sand-cast patinated bronze, often combined with gilt bronze (ormolu) accents and polished marble pedestals such as Rouge Griotte or Nero Marquina.

Period 19th-century bronzes exhibit crisp chasing detail, substantial weight, hand-threaded assembly screws, and natural wear or oxidisation to the patination around handling areas and base undersides.

Positioning a pair of sculptural bronzes on a sleek contemporary sideboard, dining table, or mantelpiece creates a striking visual contrast between historical classical art and clean modern lines.

Dust bronze figures regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax annually to protect the original patina, while marble bases should be wiped gently with a damp cloth, avoiding acidic cleaners.
