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.

This Victorian mantel clock stands in a brass case with bevelled glass panels and a moulded brass base. The polished gold-coloured metal framework holds transparent side and door panels enclosing a white enamel chapter ring with black Roman numerals, surrounding a brass dial centre with two winding holes and filigree hands. Visible inside the glass enclosure are a twin phial compensating mercurial pendulum and a coiled gong spring mounted vertically at the back. Small spherical brass handles adorn the front door and the stepped top crown sits upon four low block feet. Measuring 27 cm high, 15.5 cm wide and 12 cm deep, this clock fits neatly onto a mantelpiece or shelf in a gentleman's library, study or drawing room.

FAQs

A four-glass clock is a style of table or mantel timepiece encased in four bevelled glass panels held by a metal framework, offering full visibility of the movement and pendulum mechanism inside.

These clocks are typically constructed with brass or gilded bronze frameworks, bevelled glass panels, enamel or porcelain chapter rings, and steel or mercury-filled glass tube pendulums.

Authentic pieces from this period feature heavy, thick bevelled glass panels, precise brass movement casing with maker stamps or movement numbers, and a temperature-compensating pendulum containing glass vials.

Position the clock as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, dark wood console table, or structured bookshelf alongside leather-bound books and brass decorative objects.

Dust the glass panels regularly with a dry microfiber cloth, avoid abrasive liquid polishes on aged brass finishes, and keep the clock away from direct heat sources to preserve the movement.
