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.

Louis XVI style French mantel clocks feature classical architectural forms, polished marble bases, and gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts incorporating classical motifs such as cherubs, columns, and foliate scrolls.

These timepieces are constructed using carved indigenous or imported marble, cast bronze with fire-gilded mercurial gilding, steel movement components, and hand-painted enamel dials.

Authentic pieces feature heavy, high-density marble with natural veining, cast mercurial gilding showing age-appropriate oxidisation, white enamel dials with hand-painted numerals, and movement maker stamps on the back plate.

Position the clock centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, a formal console table, or a study desk to create a classical focal point against neutral walls or wood panelling.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid water, detergents, or chemical cleaners on gilt bronze to prevent stripping the gilding, and use specialised marble cleaners for the stone casing.
