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

A French portico clock is an architectural mantel timepiece featuring columns supporting an upper entablature, which frames a suspended mechanical movement and pendulum, popularized during the 19th century.

These clocks are typically constructed from ebonised timber featuring marquetry inlays, enamelled dials, and gilt brass or ormolu mounts and capitals.

Authentic period examples demonstrate fine marquetry work, solid brass clockwork movements with countwheel striking mechanisms, and gilded bronze or brass detailing around the bezel and bases.

Position the timepiece centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard, balancing its dark tones and gold accents against clean modern backgrounds.

Position the piece away from direct heat and sunlight to protect the wood, dust gently using a soft microfibre cloth, and clear mechanical movements using a professional horologist every few years.
