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 chinoiserie bracket clock is a portable table timepiece featuring European mechanical clockwork housed within a wooden cabinet decorated with hand-painted East Asian-inspired japanned or lacquered motifs.

These clocks typically feature wooden cases finished with layered varnish or lacquer, embellished with gold leaf or painted pigment, and fitted with brass dials, spandrels, and mechanical gear trains.

Authenticity is indicated by engraved maker marks on the dial or movement plate, cast brass corner spandrels, quality of the hand-lacquered detailing, and appropriate mechanical movement construction.

Place the clock as a focal piece on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or executive desk alongside neutral ceramics or tailored leather books to balance the detailed decoration.

Dust the lacquered case gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth without liquid polish, keep the clock away from direct heat sources, and have the mechanical movement professionally serviced periodically.
