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.

These timepieces feature elaborate cast gilt metal or bronze cases set with painted porcelain plaques, inspired by the 18th-century designs of the Royal Sevres Manufactory. The porcelain typically includes distinct ground colours, such as rose pompadour pink or bleu celeste, embellished with vignettes of cherubs, portraits, or floral motifs.

French mantel clocks from this period were constructed using cast brass or bronze that was gilded using gold mercury paste, known as ormolu. The decorative inserts consist of hard-paste or soft-paste porcelain panels, hand-painted and finished with gilded enamel highlights.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast metal framework with fine hand-chiselled details on the reverse, alongside hand-painted porcelain panels rather than modern printed transfers. The mechanical movements often bear maker marks, serial numbers, or French horological stamps on the back plate.

A porcelain clock serves as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble console table, or dining room sideboard. Pairing the ornate gilt finish with neutral backdrops or minimalist contemporary surrounding accents creates a balanced contrast.

Dust gilt metal and porcelain surfaces regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or water on gilded areas to prevent stripping the historic finish, and have mechanical clockwork serviced by a professional horologist.
