Archival Detail
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.

Developed in France during the early nineteenth century, carriage clocks were engineered as portable timepieces for travellers, featuring robust spring-driven balance wheel movements enclosed in rectangular brass cases with top carrying handles.

Traditional carriage clocks are constructed with gilt brass or bronze frames, clear bevelled glass panels, enamelled dial plates, and precise steel and brass mechanical clockwork.

Authentic pieces feature heavy gilded brass cases, thick bevelled glass panes, French maker stamps or serial numbers on the backplate movement, and mechanical spring escapements rather than modern quartz movements.

Display the clock on a fireplace mantelpiece, open bookshelf, or executive desk alongside structured decorative items to introduce warmth and classical heritage into modern spaces.

Keep the casing clean by dusting gently with a dry microfiber cloth, avoid abrasive polishes on gilded brass surfaces, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a qualified horologist every five years.
