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

Developed in France during the early nineteenth century, carriage clocks were compact, portable timepieces designed for travel, featuring spring-driven movements, glazed inspection panels, and a folding upper carrying handle.

Traditional carriage clocks feature heavy gilded brass cases, bevelled glass panels revealing the movement, steel hands, and a kiln-fired white enamel dial.

Authentic examples feature heavy cast-brass frames, hand-cut bevelled glass, stamped maker marks or serial numbers on the back plate, and crisp hand-painted enamel dials rather than printed modern replacements.

Position the clock on a wooden mantelpiece, home office desk, or open bookcase paired with brass accents and leather-bound volumes to create a tailored, classic vignette.

Keep the timepiece away from moisture and direct heat, wind the mechanical movement regularly using a fitted key, and wipe the glass panels with a dry microfibre cloth without liquid metal polish.
