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 figural desk clocks typically feature cast bronze or ormolu sculptures, often portraying mythological figures, cherubs, or allegorical themes, supporting a compact movement and decorative dial.

These timepieces were commonly constructed using fire-gilded bronze, brass, champleve or cloisonne enamel, porcelain dials, and hand-cut glass faces housing mechanical spring-driven movements.

Authentic pieces display heavy hand-cast bronze with fine chasing, natural patina or oxidisation in crevices, hand-painted enamel dials, and period movement makers marks stamped on the back plate.

Place the timepiece as a central accent on a mantelpiece, a mahogany console table, or a library bookshelf alongside stacked books to introduce historical texture.

Dust the surface lightly with a dry microfibre cloth or soft bristle brush. Avoid metal polishes, liquid solvents, or water, which can strip gilding and damage delicate enamel work.
