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.

FAQs

French gilded wall lanterns typically feature classical decorative motifs, curved glass panels, and a polished or patinated gilt finish designed to reflect candlelight or electric illumination.

These fixtures are traditionally constructed using a combination of brass or bronze framing, curved glass panes, and metal gilding or plating techniques.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-blown or curved plate glass with minor imperfections, patination on the metal surfaces, and traditional wiring or mounting hardware.

They can be mounted in hallways, flanking a fireplace, or alongside architectural mirrors to add metallic warmth and symmetrical accent lighting.

Clean the glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner and dust the metal framework gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that can strip the gilding.
