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.
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.

Spelter, a zinc-based alloy, was widely utilised in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century America as a versatile alternative to cast bronze for decorative table lamps and statuary.

These lamps typically combine cast zinc alloy with gilded or patinated finishes, often featuring glass cylinders, internal figural elements, and elaborate fabric shades with fringe trims.

Authentic spelter items are lighter than bronze, non-magnetic, and reveal white or grey metal beneath any worn surface gilding or patina, often displaying visible casting seams.

Pair these decorative lighting pieces with clean-lined sideboards, dark timber console tables, or neutral backgrounds to create contrast between classical ornamentation and modern architectural lines.

Dust the metal and glass elements gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding chemical polishes that can strip delicate gilding, whilst cleaning fabric fringe shades with a soft brush.
