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 fusee wall clock utilizes a conical pulley and chain or gut mechanism to equalize the power output of the mainspring as it unwinds, ensuring accurate timekeeping throughout its run.

These timepieces are constructed with solid or veneered wood cases, typically mahogany or oak, brass gear trains, steel arbors, cast brass bezels, and painted iron or zinc dials.

Authentic period examples feature heavy brass movement plates held with tapered pins, a spiral fusee cone, a cast brass hinged bezel with glass, and hand-painted Roman numerals on a metal dial plate.

A wall clock of this proportions can be mounted as an accent piece in a home study, hallway, or gallery wall alongside framed architectural prints and traditional oil paintings.

Keep the casing away from direct sunlight and radiators to protect the wood finish, wind the mechanism regularly using the correct key size, and professional service the movement every five to seven years.
