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

Ribbon and bow motifs gained popularity during the neoclassical periods in France, notably under Louis XVI, reflecting a shift towards delicate, classical symmetry and decorative frivolity.

These pieces are typically cast from brass or bronze, featuring hand-chiselled details and an applied gilt finish, often engineered to hold dual candle-style electrical fittings.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished casting imperfections, period-appropriate fasteners, heavier metal weight, and natural wear to the gilding rather than uniform modern electroplating.

Mount them flanking a mirror, fireplace, or artwork to introduce vertical symmetry and metallic warmth, contrasting against minimalist walls or harmonising with traditional decor.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid all abrasive cleaners, water, or chemical solvents that could strip or damage the delicate gilt surface layer.
