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

Preservation requires keeping the instrument in a stable environment away from direct sunlight and humidity, handling the brass and wood with clean gloves, and having the mechanical movement professionally serviced by a specialist horologist.

These instruments serve as striking focal points when displayed on a desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, blending well with traditional study aesthetics or adding a touch of nautical heritage to modern minimalist spaces.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct mechanical movements, maker signatures on the dial and movement, heavy brass components with natural oxidisation, and original wooden cabinetry with dovetailed joints and maker plaques.

Traditional marine chronometers are housed in fine hardwood boxes, typically mahogany or walnut, featuring brass hardware, ivory or enamel dials, and gimbal mountings designed to keep the movement level despite ship motion.

Marine chronometers are highly accurate timekeepers historically used on ships to determine longitude at sea by observing celestial bodies, playing a crucial role in maritime exploration and naval history from the 18th century onwards.
