Condition / Servicing Note:

Please note that antique clocks are complex and sensitive mechanical objects. While some clocks may be running at the time of listing we cannot guarantee ongoing performance without a full inspection and testing period by our specialist horologist. Where inspection, testing, or servicing is required this process can take between 2–12 weeks depending on the clock, the work needed, and current workload. This careful approach helps ensure the clock is properly assessed rather than rushed.

Clock Warranty

All clocks purchased from London City Antiques are supplied with a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.

This warranty covers mechanical faults and failures arising from normal use. It does not extend to damage resulting from improper handling, unauthorised tampering, accidental or physical damage, environmental factors (including humidity, temperature fluctuations, or exposure to direct sunlight), or misuse.

Should a clock develop a genuine fault within the warranty period that meets the above conditions, we will, at our discretion and at no cost to you, arrange for the repair or replacement of any defective parts. All remedial work will be carried out by a fully qualified and experienced horologist.

In the unlikely event that a fault cannot be satisfactorily resolved, a full refund will be offered.

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 French Sevres-style porcelain urn clock is a decorative 19th-century timekeeper featuring a ceramic body shaped like a classical vase or urn. These clocks are typically decorated with hand-painted floral motifs, ground colours such as cobalt blue, and framed with gilded bronze mounts.

These clocks are crafted using fine hard-paste porcelain, enamel clock dials, and cast ormolu or gilt brass mounts. The movements generally feature brass plates, steel arbours, and mechanical pendulum systems.

Authentic period pieces exhibit finely detailed hand-painted enamelling rather than modern transfer prints, heavy cast gilt bronze mounts with crisp chiselling, and original brass mechanical movements often stamped with French maker marks.

A porcelain urn clock serves as a focal point when placed centrally on a marble fireplace mantelpiece or framed on a contemporary wooden sideboard alongside minimal modern ceramics to contrast classic and modern textures.

Dust the porcelain and gilt surfaces gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive polishes that can wear away gilded finishes. The internal mechanical movement requires periodic servicing by a professional horologist.
