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.

This Georgian longcase clock is constructed from mahogany with a warm brown finish, brass fittings, glass, and paint, standing 226 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 25 cm deep. The case incorporates a swan-neck pediment hood with dentil moulding on the sweeps, reeded columns, a long shaped door flanked by reeded quarter columns, a central oval inlaid shell motif, a brass escutcheon, a cantered ogee moulding with an inlaid base, and ogee bracket feet. The round painted dial displays Roman numerals and a floral motif at the centre, signed by Benjamin Peers of Chester. Positioned in an English country house setting, the piece functions practically as a standing timepiece suitable for a hallway, living room, or study. The visible details include gilded brass finials on the swan-neck pediment, brass column capitals and bases, and a brass keyhole escutcheon on the trunk door.

FAQs

Maintain a stable indoor humidity level, dust the case regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to the wood, and ensure the movement is serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.

Position the clock as an architectural focal point in a hallway, dining room, or study, pairing its warm mahogany tones against contemporary neutral wall colours to bridge traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut joinery, original weight-driven movement mechanisms, hand-engraved or painted dials often signed by regional clockmakers, and age-appropriate wear to the timber and movement components.

These clocks typically feature cases constructed from solid mahogany, oak, or walnut, often enhanced with flame mahogany veneers, satinwood inlays, brass mountings, and hand-painted or brass dials.

A Georgian longcase clock, commonly known as a grandfather clock, is a tall, free-standing weight-driven pendulum clock crafted during the reign of the Georgian monarchs in Britain between 1714 and 1830.
