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.

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 clock garniture is a decorative mantelpiece set comprising a central clock flanked by a matching pair of side ornaments, typically candelabra or decorative urns, designed to create a balanced ensemble.

Mid-19th-century French clock garnitures were commonly constructed using cast brass, mercury-gilded bronze (ormolu), enamelled dial faces, and decorative natural stones such as green or white onyx, marble, or alabaster.

Authentic pieces from this period display crisp, finely chased gilt-bronze mounts, heavy polished stone bases, two-train pendulum movements often bearing Parisian maker stamps, and hand-painted enamel dials with Roman numerals.

Arrange the three pieces symmetrically along a fireplace mantelpiece, credenza, or console table to establish a classical focal point within formal living spaces or entrance halls.

Dust metal and stone surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth without applying chemical polish to preserve original gilding, and arrange professional servicing for the mechanical movement every three to five years.
