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

A birdcage chandelier is a distinctive lighting design featuring a tiered metal framework resembling an aviary, adorned extensively with cut crystal drops and garlands.

These fixtures typically incorporate cast or forged brass or bronze frames, often with a gilt finish, combined with hand-cut lead crystal prisms and glass spires.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut glass with slight imperfections or air bubbles, cast metal components joined with traditional fixings rather than modern screws, and hand-wired electrical conversions or original candle sockets.

Pairing a highly detailed traditional fixture with contemporary, minimalist architecture or neutral furnishings creates a striking focal point and balances the visual weight of the space.

Dust the crystals regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and clean periodically using a specialised non-drip chandelier spray cleaner while the power is switched off at the mains.
