Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

French Louis XVI style clocks are characterised by Neoclassical symmetry, featuring straight lines, classical architectural elements such as fluted columns, and allegorical motifs including billing doves, acanthus leaves, and ribbon crests. They often combine gilt bronze (ormolu) with white marble or alabaster bases.

These clocks were typically constructed using cast bronze gilded via the mercury-gilding process (ormolu), paired with bases carved from marble or alabaster. The dials were usually crafted from white enamel fired onto copper plates, housing mechanical brass clock movements.

Authentic pieces feature heavy hand-chased bronze castings, fine movement plates stamped with French makers marks or medals, and hand-painted numerals on enamel dials. Original mercury gilding displays natural wear around high-touch areas and subtle colour variations rather than a uniform modern lacquer.

Place the clock as a central focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble console table, or dining room sideboard. To balance the ornate gilded detail, surround it with minimalist contemporary art, neutral wall paint, or modern glass vases.

Dust the exterior regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush. Avoid liquid metal polishes or chemical cleaners on gilt surfaces, as these strip original gilding; mechanical movements should be professionally cleaned and lubricated by a horologist every five to seven years.
