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.
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.

Popularised in the late 19th century, Aesthetic Movement wall gongs were introduced into British dining rooms and hallways as decorative yet functional items designed to announce mealtimes. The style emphasized craftsmanship and artistic motifs influenced by Japanese art and nature.

These pieces typically consist of a sheet or cast brass gong suspended from decorative brass brackets, mounted onto a solid hardwood backplate such as oak, mahogany, or ebonised timber. The accompanying striker is generally turned wood with a felt or leather head.

Authentic period examples feature period-appropriate mounting hardware, natural oxidisation on the brass, hand-cut or cast scrollwork, and signs of age-related wear to the timber backplate and felt striker.

Mount the piece in a narrow hallway, foyer, or dining space to create a focal point. Combining the warmth of aged brass with neutral modern wall tones provides effective visual contrast.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth. To preserve the original surface patina and avoid stripping historical lacquer, non-abrasive cleaning methods are recommended, avoiding harsh chemical polishes.
