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.

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

Antique advertising wall clocks were manufactured in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as promotional tools for commercial businesses. Produced by specialised makers such as the Baird Clock Company, these clocks feature embossed or painted lettering on the outer bezel to market proprietary products in shops and public venues.

These clocks typically utilised pressed wood composition or moulded papier-mache surrounds mounted onto solid wood frames. Internal mechanical movements were constructed from brass, paired with glass-fronted dials displaying Roman numerals.

Authentic examples feature raised, moulded composition lettering cast directly into the clock bezel rather than flat painted text. They frequently display manufacturer markings on the dial face alongside age-appropriate craquelure and original movement wear.

Positioning a focal advertising clock on a plain wall creates a clear visual anchor within modern decor schemes. It functions effectively above a console, in a home office, or along a hallway alongside traditional wooden furniture.

Dust the pressed composition casing gently using a dry, soft brush to avoid abrading raised lettering. Ensure the timepiece is situated away from excess humidity and direct heat sources to prevent cracking of the wood and composition materials.
