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

Popularised in the mid-20th century and heavily associated with French and Italian design, wheatsheaf chandeliers feature decorative metalwork crafted to resemble tied sheaves of wheat, representing prosperity and harvest.

These fixtures are typically constructed from wrought iron or steel, finished with gold leaf or gilt paint, and feature faux candle sleeves housing the electrical sockets.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-cut and shaped metal leaves, visible brazing or spot welds along the central stems, and natural oxidisation or gentle wear to the gilded finish.

These fixtures function effectively when suspended above bedside tables, in hallways, or over a dining area, adding warm metallic tones and botanical forms to contemporary spaces.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush; liquid cleaners and abrasive polishes should be avoided as they can erode the delicate gilded layer.
