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

Figural bronze lamp bases are decorative light fixtures incorporating sculpted human or mythological figures, popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries in France. Often crafted using a combination of dark patinated bronze and gilded bronze, these pieces drew design inspiration from classical mythology and Neoclassical art.

These fixtures are predominantly crafted from cast bronze, combining a patinated dark finish with mercury-gilded ormolu accents. The bases feature solid cast bronze components assembled with central threaded rods, with electrical fittings added later or adapted from original candelabra designs.

Authentic 19th-century bronze lighting features crisp chasing work, heavy weight, and natural wear to original gilded surfaces. Features include hand-chased details in the hair and drapery, threaded iron or brass assembly rods underneath, and evidence of historical adaptation for electrical wiring.

Position a pair on a contemporary sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece to create symmetrical balance against a plain wall. Combine them with tailored silk or linen shades in neutral tones to ground the dark patinated metal and highlight the gilded accents.

Dust regularly using a soft microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush to clean intricate carved details. Avoid chemical cleaners, abrasive polishes, or water, as these can strip original patination and damage fragile mercury gilding.
