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

Torchieres originated as handheld torches mounted to walls or placed in brackets to illuminate castles, halls, and chateaux before the advent of modern grid electricity.

Traditional sconces were primarily hand-forged from wrought iron, bronze, or brass, often incorporating textiles, wood, or glass elements in later periods.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-forging irregularities, tool marks, period-appropriate fixings, and natural oxidisation rather than uniform machine finishing.

Pairing heavy iron fixtures with clean modern plaster walls creates a striking textural contrast, grounding the room with historic character.

Dust gently with a dry, soft cloth and avoid abrasive chemical cleaners or water to protect the historic patina and any applied finishes.
