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.
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.

Art Deco clock design from the 1930s is characterised by geometric shapes, streamlined forms, bold typography, and the incorporation of modern industrial materials such as Bakelite and chrome plating alongside traditional mechanical movements.

Early synthetic plastics like Bakelite and Catalin were frequently combined with chrome-plated metal trim, polished brass internal gears, and printed paper or metal dials protected by glass face covers.

Authentic pieces often display maker marks or manufacturer stamps on the dial face, period-appropriate Art Deco numeral fonts, mechanical hand-wound balance wheel movements, and genuine phenolic resin construction.

Position the timepiece on a modern minimalist desk, a contemporary mantelpiece, or a dark wood bookshelf to create a focal point that bridges early twentieth-century industrial design with contemporary decor.

Dust the Bakelite housing with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical solvents that cause surface degradation, polish chrome elements gently, and ensure the mechanical movement is serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
