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

Fire dogs, also known as andirons or chenets, are paired metallic hearth supports used since antiquity to hold burning logs elevated above the fireplace floor. This elevation improves air circulation to the fire while preventing logs from rolling out into the room.

Victorian fire dogs were predominantly constructed using cast or lathe-turned brass, cast iron, or a combination of both. Components were typically cast in pieces, machined, polished, and joined internally using threaded iron rods and nuts.

Authentic 19th-century pieces frequently display maker marks stamped into the metal, hand-cut screw threads, weight consistent with solid brass casting, and signs of historical heat exposure on the rear iron billet bars.

Brass fire dogs can be placed within an open fireplace hearth or set inside a decorative non-working chimney breast. Their reflective surface provides visual warmth alongside both traditional brickwork and minimalist stone surrounds.

Maintain unlacquered brass by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and occasionally applying a specialised brass polish to remove tarnish. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads that could scratch the turned and cast detailing.
