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 garniture set consists of a central mantel clock accompanied by a pair of matching side pieces, such as candelabra or vases, designed to create a symmetrical display. Popularised in 18th and 19th century France, these decorative sets were crafted to adorn formal fireplace mantels and sideboard tops.

These timepieces primarily combine mercury-gilded bronze (ormolu) with dark patinated bronze components, white enamel dials, and precise brass clock movements. The contrast between bright gilded metal and dark bronze highlights fine sculptural detailing.

Authentic pieces often feature stamped movement makers marks or bronze founder signatures on the backplate or base. They typically possess heavy cast-bronze construction, hand-chased decorative elements, dual winding holes on an enamel dial, and traditional French pendulum movements.

Position the complete set along a fireplace mantelpiece or a grand console table to establish a formal focal point. The central clock and flanked candelabra add height and classical symmetry to both traditional and eclectic interiors.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a fine natural-bristle brush for detailed relief areas. Avoid chemical polishes, abrasive cleaners, or water, as these can strip original gilding and damage delicate patinas.
