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

These timepieces combine brass or ormolu gilded metalwork cases with hand-painted porcelain plaques, often influenced by Sevres designs. Popular during the 18th and 19th centuries in France, they were designed as central decorative statements for fireplaces and reception rooms.

Primary materials include cast bronze or brass finished with mercury gilding (ormolu), paired with hand-painted porcelain panels depicting classical scenes or floral motifs. The assembly is frequently protected from dust beneath a glass dome set onto a timber base.

Authentic examples feature fine, detailed hand-painting rather than printed transfers on the porcelain tiles, visible maker or foundry stamps on the mechanical movement, and substantial metalwork with natural age-appropriate oxidisation.

Position the clock as a central focal point on a fireplace mantel, sideboard centre, or library shelf alongside minimal contemporary accents to highlight the detailed metalwork and enamel artwork.

Keep the protective glass dome in place to shield the movement from atmospheric dust and moisture. Gently dust the exterior surfaces with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid solvents or abrasive polish that could damage gilded finishes.
