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

Florentine lighting typically features carved wooden structures, gesso work, and polychrome or gilt finishes, often incorporating organic scrollwork and acanthus leaf motifs inspired by Renaissance art.

Authentic period pieces are generally constructed from carved timber or wrought iron, finished with layers of gesso, water gilding, and hand-painted polychrome pigments.

Authentication involves examining the hand-carving details, the natural ageing of the gesso and paint layers, the presence of old joinery, and the wiring method which often reveals historical conversions from candles to electricity.

Such statement pieces create a striking focal point when contrasted against minimalist modern architecture, or they can complement traditional spaces like high-ceilinged dining rooms and hallways.

Dusting should be performed regularly using a soft, dry brush or feather duster. Moisture and chemical cleaners must be avoided to protect delicate gilt and painted surfaces.
