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

Carved wooden figure lamps originated by adapting traditional East Asian woodcarving techniques into functional domestic lighting fixtures, particularly gained popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

These lamp bases are carved from dense hardwoods or natural root wood, finished with natural wax or lacquer, and fitted with metal brass socket components.

Authentic pieces feature distinct hand-carving marks, organic variations in the wood grain, aged patination, and historic adaptions for electrical wiring.

Arranging the pair symmetrically on a sideboard or console table creates structured visual balance, bringing organic texture into contemporary living spaces.

Dust the sculpted wooden surfaces using a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax polish occasionally, taking care to keep liquids away from electrical wiring.
