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

Early Georgian longcase clocks, dating from the early 18th century, typically feature solid oak or walnut casework paired with square or arch-topped brass dials, cast corner spandrels, and weight-driven pendulum movements.

These timepieces were constructed using native timber such as oak, mahogany, or walnut for the carcass, alongside brass for the dial plates and internal movement gears, steel for hands and arbors, and lead for the weights.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-engraved brass dials, cast spandrels attached separately, hand-cut movement wheels, period joinery including hand-cut dovetails, and authentic surface patination across the wood.

A longcase clock functions as a focal architectural feature in an entrance hall, stair landing, or dining space, providing structural verticality against neutral walls and contemporary art.

Maintain the clock in an environment with stable temperature and humidity, apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice per year, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
