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 hanging lanterns gained prominence in domestic interiors during the 19th and early 20th centuries, often utilised in grand entrance halls and corridors to provide welcoming illumination.

These fixtures typically feature cast or spun brass components, curved glass panes held within metal frames, and suspended chains designed to support the electrical or candle-burning mechanisms safely.

Authentic period pieces usually exhibit signs of natural oxidisation, hand-finished brass components, older wiring or socket types, and minor imperfections in the hand-blown or cylinder glass.

They make striking focal points when hung in pairs along a hallway, above a kitchen island, or within a high-ceilinged entryway to add warmth and classical proportion to contemporary spaces.

Clean the glass using standard glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than the brass, and dust the metal gently with a soft, dry cloth to avoid damaging the gilded or patinated surface.
