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 the early nineteenth century for travellers, carriage clocks are small, spring-driven timepieces housed in rectangular metal cases with glass sides and a carrying handle.

These timepieces are generally constructed from gilt brass or bronze cases with bevelled glass panels and enamel dials over brass clockwork mechanisms.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut gears, solid brass balance bridges, white enamel dials often marked with maker signatures, and heavy fire-gilded or lacquered brass cases.

Place the timepiece on a mantelpiece, gentlemans desk, or structured bookshelf alongside leather-bound books or framed artwork to add historical context.

Keep the clock in a dry environment, clean the exterior with a soft microfibre cloth without harsh chemical polish, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five years.
