Archival Detail
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 French serpentine carriage clock is characterised by its distinctive wavy or S-curved side panels and case silhouette, departing from straight rectangular designs while incorporating traditional brass construction and mechanical movements.

These clocks were typically constructed using solid brass cases, often gilded or lacquered, fitted with bevelled glass plates, white enamel dials, and steel or brass internal components.

Authentic examples often bear maker marks such as a lion trademark stamped on the back movement plate, accompanied by quality features like heavy brass castings and precise bevelled glass.

Place the timepiece centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or structured bookshelf alongside clean-lined ceramics or art books to create a balanced focal point.

Keep the movement dust-free by keeping all glass panels secured, avoid abrasive chemical polishes on the brass surface, and have the internal mechanical movement serviced regularly by a qualified horologist.
