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.

A Georgian longcase clock with a moon dial phase is an 18th-century floor-standing timepiece that incorporates a mechanical lunar calendar into the upper dial arch. These clocks indicate both time and the phase of the moon, which was historically essential for nocturnal travel and tide monitoring.

The exterior cases were typically constructed using flame mahogany, oak, or walnut veneers over pine framing. The internal clock movements were hand-crafted from brass and iron, while dials featured hand-painted enamel or cast brass components.

Authentic pieces display hand-engraved or hand-painted arch dials, correct era maker signatures, period-appropriate movement plates, and original brass finials. The woodwork often exhibits natural patination, hand-dovetailed joints, and age-related shrinkage lines on solid timber sections.

A tall longcase clock creates a strong architectural focal point when positioned in an entry hallway, stairwell landing, or modern dining space. Juxtaposing rich mahogany with neutral wall paint and minimal modern furniture allows the historic craftsmanship to stand out.

Keep the clock situated away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the timber veneer from drying or fading. Mechanical movements require routine horological servicing and oiling every five to seven years to ensure smooth pendulum operation.
