Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

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

A pair cased pocket watch features an inner case housing the movement and a protective outer case designed to shield the mechanism from dust and wear. Popular throughout the 18th century, these timepieces typically utilised verge escapements and elaborate hand-crafted decorative elements.

These timepieces were predominantly constructed with sterling silver or gold cases, hand-painted enamel dials, brass movements, and steel balance components. Dials frequently featured painted artwork alongside Roman or Arabic hour numerals.

Authentic pieces generally feature British silver hallmarks indicating the assay office and date letter, a makers signature engraved on the movement backplate, and period-accurate mechanical features such as verge escapements and hand-cut gears.

Antique pocket watches are traditionally displayed on pocket watch stands under a small glass dome, within a collectors cabinet, or mounted inside a framed shadow box in a study.

Store the timepiece in a dry environment with stable humidity levels and polish the silver case gently using a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid overwinding the mainspring and keep the mechanism away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
