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

Longcase clocks, commonly known as grandfather clocks, feature a tall free-standing wooden case enclosing a weight-driven pendulum movement. During the 18th century, these timepieces evolved from square dials to arched dials, often decorated with hand-painted scenes and local clockmaker inscriptions.

Regional clockmakers frequently utilised locally sourced native hardwoods such as oak, fruitwood, and walnut for the casing. The internal movements were constructed from brass plates and steel components, housed behind glass-fronted hoods.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut horological gear teeth, cast brass components, wrought iron weights, and period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails. Dial signatures, painted arch motifs, and movement mounting styles also assist in verifying era and origin.

A tall longcase clock creates a focal point when placed in an entryway, hallway, or dining space. Positioning warm timber tones against light neutral wall colours or contemporary artwork balances historical craftsmanship with modern decoration.

Keep the wooden casing away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight, applying natural beeswax periodically to protect the finish. Mechanical horological movements require professional cleaning, adjustment, and lubrication every five to seven years.
