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.
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.

Georgian longcase clocks, created between 1714 and 1830, are characterised by architectural proportions, high-quality wood veneers such as flame mahogany, and decorative features like swan-neck pediments, brass finials, and painted or engraved dials.

Cases were typically constructed from oak or pine and faced with mahogany, walnut, or satinwood veneers. Movements were made from cast brass plates and iron gears, with dials constructed from painted iron or silvered brass.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-wrought iron movement components, period-correct weight systems, and natural age oxidisation on the interior pine or oak casing backboards.

A longcase clock serves as an architectural anchor in tall spaces such as entrance halls, stairwell landings, or formal reception rooms, pairing well with neutral wall paint and contemporary art to contrast traditional timber tones.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or fading. Clean the timber using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year.
