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 during events such as the Great Exhibition of 1851, a skeleton clock features exposed brass gearing engineered to display its internal mechanical workings rather than concealing them inside a solid case.

These clocks typically feature hand-pierced brass framework plates, steel arbors, an enamel dial ring marked with Roman numerals, and an ebonised timber base beneath a protective glass dome.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-finished brass plates, hand-painted numerals on an enamel ring, slight irregularities in the hand-blown glass dome, and historical escapement mechanisms.

Position the clock centrally on a stone mantelpiece, dark wood sideboard, or executive office desk where the detailed brass framework can stand out against a neutral background.

Keep the glass cloche fitted at all times to exclude airborne dust, wipe the exterior glass with a lint-free cloth, and avoid touching the brass components with bare fingers to prevent oxidisation.
