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 skeleton clock is a mechanical timepiece designed with skeletonised or openwork plates, leaving the gears, escapement, and wheel train entirely visible to display the movement.

Victorian skeleton clocks were primarily constructed using brass for the wheelwork and frame plates, steel for the arbors and pinions, and silvered brass for the chapter ring, all mounted on ebonised wood or marble bases.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-finished brass plates, hand-cut gears, hand-engraved chapter rings, and maker marks or locations stamped directly onto the brass plinth or frame.

Position the timepiece on a fireplace mantel, sideboard, or study desk against dark or neutral backgrounds to highlight the intricate brass geometry and openwork design.

Dust the movement gently with a soft microfibre brush, avoid applying liquid polishes directly to unlacquered brass, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
