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.

This Edwardian Neoclassical hall lantern dates from the late 19th century and is made of gilt brass with curved glass panels, standing 80 cm high. The design incorporates a cylindrical glazed body held within fluted columns, embellished with cast festoon swags and hanging tassel motifs around the upper frieze, and a pierced gallery above small round feet at the base. An arched, scroll-form suspension frame rises from the top, terminating in a central hanging loop, while the interior houses a three-branch electrified sconce fitted with candle tubes. Suitable for grand entrance halls, stairwells, or high-ceilinged reception spaces, this ceiling fixture provides downward illumination while casting decorative shadows through its detailed metalwork. The gleaming gold-toned finish reflects light effectively in both traditional period interiors and more eclectic modern settings.

FAQs

Hall lanterns from the 19th century typically feature cylindrical or polygonal glazed panels enclosed within a cast brass or bronze frame, designed to protect candles or gas flames from draughts in grand entryways.

Traditional hall lanterns were constructed using cast brass, gilded bronze (ormolu), or wrought iron frames, paired with clear or curved glass panels to maximise light distribution.

Authentic period lanterns show evidence of hand-casting, minor casting anomalies, hand-cut glass panels, slotted steel screws, and natural patination or age-appropriate wear to the gilded surfaces.

Suspend the lantern in an entryway, staircase landing, or above a dining area to introduce vertical interest and contrast historic metalwork with contemporary structural lines.

Dust the frame regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive or chemical cleaners on gilded surfaces, and clean the glass panels using a mild glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth.
