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

Originating in eighteenth-century France, bouillotte lamps were created for the card game of bouillotte, featuring adjustable metal shades designed to reflect light downwards and protect players eyes from glare.

These lamps are constructed using cast gilt brass or bronze for the stem, arms, and base, paired with a painted sheet metal, or tole, shade.

Authentic pieces feature a dish-shaped base designed to hold game counters, a central vertical stem with a screw-key mechanism to adjust shade height, and multiple candlestick sockets.

Place the lamp on an executive desk, sideboard, or side table to introduce structural symmetry and classical lighting tone alongside contemporary furnishings.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or abrasive metal polishes that can wear away original lacquers or gilding.
