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.

This nineteenth-century Rococo Revival mantel clock and matching stand are made of multicoloured porcelain, brass, and glass. The polychrome porcelain piece is profusely decorated with hand-modelled encrusted floral details in pink, yellow, blue, and purple, alongside elaborate Rococo C-scrolls and four putti figures representing the seasons. The white clock dial features black Roman numerals and ornate pierced hands, protected behind a glass cover within a brass bezel. Four curved, scroll-shaped feet support the substantial base, while a single seated putto finial holding a chalice crowns the very top. The entire item measures 58 cm high, 42 cm wide, and 20 cm deep. This decorative mantel clock suits placement on a prominent mantelpiece, shelf, or side table within a formal living room, hallway, or study as a functional timepiece and ornamental centrepiece.

FAQs

Rococo Revival porcelain clocks feature asymmetrical C-scrolls, elaborate floral encrustations, and sculpted allegorical figures. Originating in Europe during the nineteenth century, these timepieces draw stylistic inspiration from eighteenth-century French and German designs.

These clocks are primarily crafted from hard-paste porcelain, painted with polychrome enamels and embellished with gold leaf gilding. The internal clock mechanism is typically constructed from brass and iron, housed behind a glass bezel.

Authentic Meissen pieces generally feature the crossed swords factory mark painted underglaze in blue on the porcelain base. Additional indicators include high-density porcelain modelling, precise floral sculpting, and incised model or turner numbers.

An ornate porcelain clock functions as a focal point when placed centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard top. Pairing it with understated companion pieces allows the intricate sculptural details to stand out.

Dust should be removed using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid snapping delicate porcelain petals and figures. Liquid cleansers and abrasive cloths should be avoided, as moisture can damage gilding and unglazed areas.
