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

French Louis XVI style clocks feature classical symmetry, elaborate metalwork, and intricate enamel panelling, originating in the late 18th century and widely produced throughout the 19th century.

These timepieces typically feature cast brass or ormolu (gilt bronze) frames combined with decorative champleve or cloisonne enamel panels and mechanical brass clockwork.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-engraved detailing, heavy fire-gilded ormolu or cast brass, fine enamel cell division, and stamped French movement maker marks on the rear plate.

Position the clock as a central focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table paired with understated decorative elements to highlight the gilded finish and enamel work.

Dust the metalwork and enamel surfaces gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical polishes or liquid cleaners that can strip fire gilding or damage enamel inlays.
