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

European craftsmen in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries frequently fitted imported Chinese porcelain vessels with bronze or ormolu mounts. This practice adapted eastern ceramics into western lighting fixtures and decorative objects, blending Asian ceramic art with European metalwork traditions.

These lamps typically feature high-fired porcelain decorated with cobalt blue glazes or enamels. The structural mounts, handles, and bases are made of cast gilt bronze, brass, or ormolu, complemented by fabric shade materials such as silk.

Authentic pieces display signs of period construction, including heavy hand-cast metal mounts with natural surface patination and oxidisation. The underlying porcelain may show glaze variations, hand-painted details, and evidence of historical drilling or fitting for conversion.

Position the lamp on a sideboard, console table, or bedside chest to create a focal point. Combining classical Chinoiserie ceramics with clean modern lines adds texture, colour contrast, and historical balance to contemporary rooms.

Dust the porcelain base gently using a soft, lint-free cloth. Clean the gilt bronze mounts with a dry brush to prevent moisture from causing tarnish or removing gilding, and ensure electrical wiring is inspected by a qualified professional.
