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

Neoclassical mantel clocks from the 19th century typically feature architectural marble or alabaster cases adorned with gilt bronze or ormolu mounts inspired by classical antiquity, such as urns, laurel wreaths, and mythical creatures.

High-end mantel clocks relied on white statuary marble, black marble, or alabaster for the casing, combined with chased gilt bronze mounts, brass mechanical movements, and white enamel or porcelain dials.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy marble casings, hand-chased brass or ormolu mounts with natural age patina, dial or backplate signatures from recorded horologists, and traditional pendulum escapement mechanisms.

Positioning a marble clock on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble console table, or dark timber sideboard creates a striking focal point that contrasts classical horology with modern, minimalist decor.

Clean marble surfaces using a soft dry or microfibre cloth, avoid acidic solvents, dust gilded metalwork gently with a soft brush, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a horologist every five years.
