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

A cartel clock is a type of wall-mounted timepiece framed in a unified, asymmetrical cast metal or carved wood housing, popularised in France during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These clocks are typically constructed from heavy cast bronze with mercury gilding (ormolu), featuring enamelled copper or glass dials and precision brass clock movements.

Authentic period examples demonstrate substantial weight, hand-chased bronze casting, mercury gilding wear, hand-painted enamel dials with winding arbors, and stamped French movement maker marks.

Position the clock as a focal decorative object on a neutral or dark painted wall above a console table or mantlepiece to create visual contrast alongside contemporary furnishings.

Dust the ornate casting regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, avoid liquid polishers that remove gilding, and have internal movements professionally lubricated by a horologist.
