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.

An electric skeleton clock is a timepiece that utilizes an electromagnetic coil mechanism to drive the pendulum, featuring an openwork design that reveals the internal gears and components.

These timepieces were predominantly crafted using turned brass for the movement and frame, polished mahogany or walnut for the plinth base, and blown glass for the protective dome cover.

Authentic examples typically feature period maker marks or brass plaques, an exposed electrical coil positioned within the pendulum assembly, and period-correct wiring connection points on the wooden base.

Display the clock on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or bookshelf where the glass dome can capture light and the intricate brass movement remains clearly visible against neutral backdrops.

Keep the glass dome in place to protect the movement from dust, dust the exterior glass gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and avoid applying brass polish directly to exposed mechanical components.
