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

Developed in France in the early nineteenth century by horologist Abraham-Louis Breguet, carriage clocks were designed for travel, featuring robust spring-driven balance wheel movements that functioned without a pendulum.

Carriage clocks are primarily constructed from cast or stamped gilt brass, with polished glass side panels to view the movement, and enamel or brass dials.

Authentic period carriage clocks typically feature heavy gilt brass casing, hand-finished horological escapements, white enamel dials, and stamped makers marks or serial numbers on the back plate.

A brass carriage clock can be styled as a functional accent piece on a fireplace mantelpiece, desktop, or within a formal library bookcase to add metallic detail.

Mechanical carriage clocks require winding with an appropriately sized key, level positioning, regular professional servicing every five to seven years, and careful cleaning of brass surfaces with a lint-free cloth.
