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 skeleton clock is a timepiece engineered with openwork plates that leave the internal gears, escapement, and mechanical movement visible from the exterior.

Makers during this period primarily used cast brass for frames and wheels, steel for arbours and pinions, enamel for dial rings, and ebonised wood or marble for bases.

Authentic period examples display hand-finished brass plates, hand-cut gear teeth, hand-painted enamel chapter rings, and maker marks or serial stamps on the frame.

Position the piece on a mantelpiece, dark wood bookshelf, or executive desk to serve as a focal point of historical craftsmanship alongside minimalist modern decor.

Keep the clock free from dust by storing it under a glass dome, avoid abrasive polish on original lacquered brass, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
