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.

Louis XV style mantel clocks feature fluid Rococo curves, asymmetrical scrollwork, foliage motifs, and decorative figurative finials, reflecting 18th-century French decorative arts.

These clocks were predominantly cast from brass or bronze, often gilded via fire-gilding or electroplating, paired with enamel dials, steel hands, and mechanical brass movements.

Authentic French clock movements frequently feature makers roundels stamped on the back plate, such as those from Samuel Marti or Vincenti, alongside serial numbers and pendulum spring suspensions.

An ornate gilt clock serves as a focal point on a marble mantelpiece, console table, or minimalist shelving unit, creating visual contrast against neutral backdrop colours.

Gilt metal surfaces should be dusted regularly with a dry, soft cloth or fine camel-hair brush, avoiding abrasive polishes or liquid cleaners that could damage the gilding or oxidisation.
