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.
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.

Originating in 18th-century Britain, a Georgian hooded wall clock is a weight-driven timepiece featuring a timber canopy housing the dial, while allowing the pendulum and weights to hang exposed below.

These timepieces were typically constructed using solid native hardwoods such as mahogany or oak for the casing, alongside brass movement plates, lead weights, and painted iron or brass dials.

Authentic pieces exhibit period joinery, hand-painted floral or spandrel details on the dial face, cast brass pendulum bobs, and maker inscriptions denoting historical regional origins.

Positioning a long pendulum wall clock on a narrow wall space creates a striking vertical focal point that complements neutral colour schemes, modern artwork, or traditional architectural mouldings.

Keep the casing free from moisture and direct sunlight, dust the wooden structure with a soft microfibre cloth, and have the mechanical movement professionally cleaned and lubricated every few years.
