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.

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

An 18th-century longcase clock is characterised by a tall wooden cabinet enclosing a pendulum and weight-driven movement. Early models often feature brass dials with spandrels, single or double hands, and solid timber cases crafted from oak or walnut.

Clockmakers and cabinetmakers primarily utilised solid native hardwoods such as oak and walnut for the case, while movement plates, gears, dials, and corner spandrels were cast and engraved in brass.

Authentic period dials typically display cast brass corner spandrels, hand-engraved chapter rings, cast brass centre plates, and often feature single-hand configurations or early square-dial proportions prior to the widespread use of painted iron dials.

An antique longcase clock serves as an architectural anchor in neutral spaces, pairing well alongside contemporary art, muted painted walls, and minimalist furnishings to create visual contrast.

Oak cabinets should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and conditioned annually with a high-grade beeswax polish. The internal clock movement requires routine professional servicing every five to seven years to ensure functional operation.
