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

Originating in the late nineteenth century, these clocks draw inspiration from eighteenth-century neoclassical design, incorporating symmetrical forms, fluted columns, foliage garlands, and sculptural elements such as putti or urns.

Craftspeople typically combined cast gilt bronze, known as ormolu, with carved white marble or alabaster, alongside white enamel dial faces with hand-painted numerals and steel clock hands.

Authentic examples generally feature heavy cast-brass internal movements stamped with maker marks or serial numbers, hand-chased ormolu mounts, and twin winding arbors on an enamel dial face.

Placing the piece on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble sideboard top, or console table alongside minimal modern artwork creates a striking focal point through the contrast of historic craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Dust the exterior regularly using a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid polishes or abrasive chemical cleaners that can damage the gilded surface or dull the marble patina.
