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.

Georgian longcase clocks were manufactured during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, characterised by mahogany or walnut cases, brass or painted dials, and weight-driven internal movements.

Cabinets were typically constructed from solid and veneered mahogany, oak, or walnut, housing cast brass movements, steel pendulums, and lead weights behind glass hood apertures.

Authentic examples feature cast brass corner spandrels, hand-engraved dial plates, period-correct movement layout, and natural signs of timber patination and age-related wear.

Positioning a floor-standing clock in an entrance hall, stair landing, or formal reception room creates architectural verticality, where deep wood tones contrast against neutral walls.

Maintain consistent humidity levels to prevent timber shrinkage, wind the mechanism regularly using the correct key, and schedule professional horological servicing every five to ten years.
