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

During the mid-20th century, tyre manufacturers partnered with horological companies to create novelty desk clocks shaped like tyres. These items served as promotional gifts and display pieces for garages, dealerships, and corporate executive desks.

These timepieces commonly feature vulcanised rubber casings styled like treaded tyres, chrome-plated metal bezels, glass crystal face covers, and moulded Bakelite or early plastic bases.

Authentic pieces feature dial face markings indicating Smiths, Smiths Empire, or 30 Hour, along with country of origin marks like Made in Great Britain. The rubber tyres often bear embossed manufacturer branding such as Goodyear or Dunlop.

A tyre-motif desk clock integrates well into an industrial loft setting, home office, or gentlemans library. Position it on a wooden desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece alongside mechanical objects or leather accessories.

Clean the rubber casing using a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical solvents that cause degradation. Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the rubber from drying or cracking.
