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.
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.
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.

Fire dogs, also known as andirons, are designed to support log fires within an open fireplace, elevating wood to improve airflow and combustion efficiency. The Dutch Baroque style is characterised by grand turned brass finials, bold architectural silhouettes, and ornate classical detailing developed during the seventeenth century.

Traditional fire dogs feature decorative front uprights cast from brass or bronze, paired with heavy forged iron horizontal billets at the back. The iron withstands direct contact with burning logs, while the decorative brass front remains visible in the hearth.

Authentic period examples typically feature heavy sand-cast metalwork, threaded or riveted assembly joints, and hand-chased decorative details such as rosettes, scrolls, and balusters. Inspecting the iron billet supports for hand-forging marks and natural historical patination also helps verify age.

Position brass fire dogs within an open hearth, inglenook fireplace, or modern minimalist fire surround to create a sculptural focal point. They pair effectively with natural stone, exposed brick, or dark marble mantels, introducing warmth and reflective metallic contrast.

Clean brass fronts regularly with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and soot accumulation. To preserve aged patination, avoid harsh abrasive polishes, while iron components should be kept dry to prevent rust formation.
