The years that followed saw the company expand internationally, receiving Royal Warrants and commissions from Monarchs around the world, and becoming synonymous with excellence, craftsmanship and all things undeniably British.

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.

Art Deco clocks, popular during the 1920s and 1930s, are characterised by geometric silhouettes, streamlined forms, bold typography, and modern materials such as chrome, glass, and Bakelite.

Clocks from this era frequently utilised chrome-plated brass or steel, coloured glass columns, glass crystals, and mechanical eight-day clockworks housed in stepped metal cases.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate geometric numerals, mechanical wind-up movements, makers marks on the dial, and light natural patination on metal surfaces.

Position the clock on an executive desk, sideboard, or mantelpiece where its metallic plating and geometric lines contrast cleanly against dark painted backgrounds or timber surfaces.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive liquid polishes that can strip thin chrome plating, and consult a professional horologist for internal movement servicing.
