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 Louis XVI style mantel clock set, or garniture de cheminee, typically features classical architectural proportions, gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts, and motifs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity such as urns, drapery, and classical figures.

These sets are predominantly constructed using finely cast and chased gilt bronze (ormolu), often paired with polished marble, alabaster, or onyx bases, and decorated with champleve enamel or hand-painted porcelain panels.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit heavy, detailed bronze casting with crisp chasing, French movement maker stamps on the back plate (such as Vincenti or Samuel Marti), and matching serial numbers across the clock mechanism and pendulum.

Position the complete three-piece set symmetrically along a marble fireplace mantelpiece or atop a dark wood sideboard to create a balanced focal point in a formal living or dining room.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaners or water on the gilt bronze to preserve the original gilding, and ensure the clock movement is professionally serviced by a horologist.
