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

The Louis XVI style emerged in 18th-century France as a neoclassical response to the elaborate Rococo period, characterised by symmetrical proportions, straight lines, classical architectural elements, and figurative motifs such as urns, garlands, and classical drapery.

These clocks were typically constructed using cast bronze electroplated or fire-gilded with gold, known as ormolu, often paired with white or black marble, brass mechanical movements, and hand-painted enamel clock dials.

Authentic pieces feature finely chased details on the bronze casting, mercury gilding showing natural oxidation in recesses, hand-finished clock movements with count wheel striking mechanisms, and enamelled dials showing subtle historical wear around keyholes.

Place the clock as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble console table, or dining room sideboard, balancing the detailed metalwork against clean architectural backgrounds or minimalist artwork.

Dust the exterior gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners or metal polishes that strip original gilded layers, and consult a professional horologist every five years for mechanical servicing.
