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

Figural doorstops are decorative, weighted objects cast in metals like brass or iron, depicting historical figures, animals, or characters, popularised in 18th and 19th-century Britain to hold heavy doors open.

Georgian and early Victorian doorstops were typically sand-cast from solid brass or bronze, often weighted at the base with cast iron or lead to provide sufficient resistance against heavy interior timber doors.

Authentic pieces usually feature hand-chased surface details, visible seam lines from two-part moulds, hand-threaded screws or bolts on the underside, and authentic surface patination rather than uniform modern plating.

Beyond its original functional purpose beside an entryway or internal door, a heavy figural doorstop can be displayed on a library bookshelf, mantelpiece, or desk as an architectural decorative object.

Dust the item regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip historical patina, and apply a thin coat of microcrystalline wax to protect the metal from oxidisation.
