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.

Longcase clock weights are calibrated metal cylinders that provide the gravitational energy required to operate the gear train and striking mechanisms of a pendulum clock.

During the eighteenth century, craftspeople formed thin brass sheet cylinders and filled the interior cavity with molten lead to achieve the precise weight required to drive the movement.

Authentic period weights exhibit hand-turned brass caps, visible seam lines along the casing, iron suspension loops, and natural surface wear including minor indentation and tarnishing.

These historical horological items can be displayed as sculptural objects on bookshelves, used as heavy bookends, or placed on desk surfaces as architectural curiosities.

Maintain the original patina by dusting with a dry microfiber cloth and avoiding harsh chemical polishes that strip historical surface oxidation.
