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

French Louis XVI Revival mantel clocks are characterised by classical architectural symmetry, gilded bronze casting, fluted columns, and classical motifs such as urns, garlands, and pinecone finials. Developed in the nineteenth century, this style draws inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman design principles.

These clocks typically feature cast bronze cases finished with mercury gilding (ormolu), integrated with hand-painted porcelain plaques, enamel dial cartouches, and internal mechanical brass pendulum movements.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased metalwork, mercury gilding wear on raised surfaces, hand-painted enamel detail, and maker stamps or serial numbers on the brass movement backplate.

Place the clock centrally on a stone mantelpiece, marble sideboard, or structured console table to serve as a focal point, pairing it with neutral wall finishes and clean-lined contemporary artwork to balance the ornamental details.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft brush or microfibre cloth, avoid liquid polish or abrasives that strip the gilding, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a professional horologist every five years.
