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

These timepieces typically feature cast metal sculptural figures depicting classical, mythological, or allegorical subjects, mounted upon architectural marble or ormolu plinths.

Common materials include fire-gilt bronze or brass, white or coloured marble, enamel for the dial faces, and intricate hand-finished metalwork.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-cut components, matching serial numbers on the movement and pendulum, age-related wear to the gilding, and traditional cast brass works stamped by known Paris makers.

Positioning the piece as a focal point on a mantelpiece or sideboard allows its sculptural qualities to contrast sharply against clean, modern architectural lines.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoid chemical polishes that can strip the delicate mercury gilding or damage the soft marble, and have the mechanical movement serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
