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.

A five-glass library clock features glass panels on the top, front, back, and sides of the wooden case, allowing visual access to the internal mechanical movement from multiple angles.

These clocks were typically constructed using flame mahogany or rosewood cases, brass fusee clockwork movements, bevelled glass panels, and silvered brass dials.

Authenticity is determined by examining Maker inscriptions on the dial or movement backplate, checking for original fusee chain mechanisms, and assessing the construction techniques of the timber casing.

A traditional clock functions as a focal point when placed on a minimalist mantelpiece, a dark wood bookshelf, or an executive writing desk alongside structured decorative items.

A fusee clock requires periodic professional overhaul every five to seven years, steady winding using the correct size key, and keying in a stable climate away from direct heat sources.
