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.

A grandmother clock is a freestanding, pendulum-driven longcase clock that is scaled down in proportion, typically measuring between 5 and 6 feet in height, whereas a grandfather clock generally exceeds 6 feet. Developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, grandmother clocks offer a slimmer trunk and smaller hood to suit compact residential spaces.

19th-century longcase clocks were predominantly crafted using solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, joined with traditional mortise, tenon, and dovetail carpentry. Dials were commonly fashioned from cast brass with applied spandrels, or painted iron plates, housing hand-forged brass and steel clockwork movements.

Authentic period examples exhibit signs of hand-craftsmanship, including irregular saw marks inside the casing, hand-cut gear teeth within the movement, and age-appropriate patination on the wood finish and metal dial. Examining the joinery, movement mounting boards, and maker signatures on the dial plate provides further confirmation of age.

A grandmother clock adds architectural structure and historic interest when placed in an entryway, stair landing, or narrow wall space. Pairing dark oak casing with neutral wall tones or minimalist furniture creates a balanced contrast between antique craftsmanship and modern design.

Ensure the clock case sits completely level on a stable surface to maintain proper pendulum swing. The internal mechanical movement should be lubricated and serviced by a professional horologist every three to five years, and the wooden case kept away from direct heat sources and high humidity.
