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.

This 1890 Victorian mantel clock is constructed from ebonised wood and finished in black and gold with ormolu and brass elements. The case stands on four ornate acanthus feet and features classical gilded ormolu urn finials on the top and corners, scrolling foliate mounts, and side sound grilles with intricate pierced metalwork. The arched brass dial includes a main timekeeping face along with two smaller subsidiary dials, protected behind a glazed door fitted with a small handle. Measuring 70 cm high, 42 cm wide, and 29 cm deep, this clock fits comfortably on a mantelpiece or a bookcase in a gentleman's library or study. It brings a formal, decorative accent to a living room, hallway, or home office surface while maintaining a classic timekeeping function.

FAQs

Originating in the 17th century and remaining popular through the 19th century, bracket and mantel clocks feature portable wooden cases housing spring-driven mechanical movements, frequently decorated with ebonised finishes and gilt-brass mounts.

These horological pieces typically feature ebonised hardwood cases, brass or bronze gilt mounts, cast brass dials with silvered chapter rings, and heavy brass mechanical clock movements with pendulum assemblies.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut movement plates, original pendulum assemblies, hand-engraved or cast brass dials, and genuine ebonised wood finishes with age-consistent wear on the gilding and mechanical components.

Position the clock as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, a dark wood sideboard, or a library bookshelf to contrast against modern light backgrounds and add architectural weight to the space.

Keep the clock away from direct heat sources and damp environments, dust the case gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes on gilt mounts, and have the mechanical movement professionally serviced every three to five years.
