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

Originating in the early 18th century, Early Georgian longcase clocks feature solid timber cases, such as oak or walnut, paired with brass arch dials incorporating horological complications like strike or silent indicators.

Cases were typically constructed from solid oak, mahogany, or walnut, housing brass clockwork movements with weight-driven pendulum mechanisms and cast brass dial spandrels.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut joinery, iron weight drives, hand-engraved brass chapter rings, cast corner spandrels, and natural wear patterns consistent with 18th-century horological manufacturing.

Position the clock as an architectural focal point in an entryway, hallway, or dining space to contrast historic timber tones against neutral plasterwork and modern decor.

Maintain stable humidity levels, position away from direct heat sources, apply natural beeswax sparingly to the timber case, and ensure the movement is serviced regularly by a professional horologist.
