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.

A drop dial wall clock is a timepiece featuring a circular or octagonal upper dial positioned above a lowered wooden enclosure, known as a drop trunk, which houses and protects the swinging pendulum movement.

These clocks were typically constructed using solid or veneered hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, and walnut for the casing, alongside brass mechanical gearing, glass viewports, and painted zinc or paper dials.

Authentic examples usually feature maker marks stamped onto the brass movement or printed on the dial face, alongside period-appropriate octagonal bezel construction and age-consistent wear on the numerals.

A drop dial clock can be mounted on a neutral painted wall in an entry hallway or study, serving as a focal point among framed prints or modern minimal furnishings to create visual balance.

Regular maintenance involves ensuring the casing is level on the wall, winding the spring mechanism with a matching key at fixed intervals, and periodically lubricating the movement with specialised horological oil.
