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

Originating in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, Rococo Revival mantel clocks feature asymmetrical scrollwork, figurative sculptures, and decorative foliate elements inspired by eighteenth-century French design.

These clocks were typically constructed using cast bronze or spelter with gold gilding, known as ormolu, often combined with hand-painted porcelain plaques, white enamel dials, and brass mechanical clockwork.

Authentic pieces display detailed hand-chiselled casting, heavy gilded weight, hand-enamelled dials with Roman numerals, and maker stamps or serial numbers impressed into the brass movement.

A gilded mantel clock serves as a focal piece when placed on a marble fireplace mantelpiece, a dark wood sideboard, or a central console table alongside understated contemporary art.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre brush, avoid applying liquid cleansers or abrasive polishes that degrade original gilding, and have the internal movement serviced by a qualified horologist.
