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

Louis XV style clocks draw inspiration from the 18th-century Rococo movement, characterised by asymmetrical curves, naturalistic motifs, and an emphasis on ornamentation.

These pieces typically feature fire-gilt bronze, also known as ormolu, cast in detailed moulds and mounted on marble bases, housing mechanical brass clockwork movements.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the quality of the hand-chased bronze work, maker signatures on the enamel dial or movement, and the natural wear consistent with age.

Positioning the clock on a prominent mantelpiece or sideboard allows it to serve as a focal point, contrasting traditional craftsmanship with clean architectural lines.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquid chemical cleaners that can damage the fire-gilt or enamel surfaces, and have the mechanical movement serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
