Probably web spiders, I cant imagine why a potential buyer would visit? Certainly they wouldn't pass the first page, they would just go back to their search engine and try another option.

Take a look at your site... and then go to a few online stores, ones that are successful preferrably.
Your home page looks more like its a personal site about you and your love of antiques, not like a store... in fact you have the links to selling stuff buried in a tiny font links at the bottom of your home page.
If its a store and you are selling stuff that should be conveyed on the home page - your home page does not indicate in any way that this is an online store and that you are selling anything.
And that doesn't mean put a "Buy Stuff Now" link on the home page... the home page should have some of your product for sale, usually your "HOT DEALS" or "SPECIALS" or just overstock you want to move faster.
If you go to Amazon.com they don't talk about how they like books on the home page, they get you right to the books and other goodies they sell... your site is more like a personal site/blog on its home page.
So what you should probably do is: 1) list product on the home page 2) make it obvious this is a store and that you are selling stuff 3) remove all the personal stuff about you on the site - people aren't going to buy stuff because you like it... they buy it because they like it. If you want to convey your knowledge of the product and really feel it will help then you can maybe put in a little side bar down one side of the page

I didn't see anything for sale in your store that didn't ultimately lead to an affiliate link that takes visitors to other web sites. If that's all you have to offer it's no wonder you haven't made any sales. You have to give visitors more than that. Give them a reason to come back to your site.
For example, you could give a detailed history of "Chesterfield furniture" but you have to write it yourself and not just lift some text from other web sites.

If I joined affiliate programs and I got links from them, how should I use those links? Arent't the visitors suppose to be directed to producer's website?

Affiliate links are fine--in some kind of context. Your site needs more truly useful content.
I mentioned before about you doing some research and writing about various kinds of antiques. By creating keyword rich content you improve your search engine rankings, you give people a reason to come to your site and possibly return in the future, and you give other web sites reasons for linking to your site.
Any effort you put into creating useful content for your site will pay dividends. You can't just put up a web site with a bunch of affiliate links (and nothing much else) and expect to make money.

You are selling replica antiques, while claiming they are antiques.
You need to learn the difference!
It would help if your site worked: I can't see any clocks at all.
What on Earth made you pick replica antiques as an affiliate scheme?
You are asking total strangers to send you thousands of pounds, on a site that quite clearly sets out to deceive them. Why would anyone buy from you?
Would you?
To have a hope in that trade, you will need a very professional looking, upmarket site - go look at the competition, and see what you think!
Good Luck! --
