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

The lyre clock originated in late 18th-century France during the Louis XVI period, adopting the classical shape of the ancient stringed instrument. The style gained popularity through French royal horologists and remaining a prominent design fixture throughout the 19th-century revival periods.

These clocks typically combine cobalt blue glazed porcelain with cast ormolu gilding on bronze, hand-painted enamel dial faces, and paste glass or rhinestone embellishments surrounding the bezel.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast gilt-bronze mounts with detailed chasing, hand-enamelled dial markings often displaying Parisian clockmaker signatures, and traditional pendulum suspension mechanisms within the harp frame.

Position the clock centrally on a marble mantelpiece, structured console table, or sideboard, balancing its detailed gilding against modern clean lines or minimalist wall art.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush. Avoid water, chemical solvents, or abrasive polishes, which can strip gilding and damage delicate enamel faces.
