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 paired metal supports placed within a fireplace to elevate logs above the hearth bed, improving airflow and combustion efficiency.

Victorian fire dogs were primarily crafted from cast or wrought iron, heavy solid brass, or a combination of both metals to withstand heat within open fireplaces.

Authentic 19th-century pieces typically display hand-finished casting seams, threaded internal iron rods, substantial weight, and subtle surface patination consistent with historical use.

They can be positioned inside a decorative non-working fireplace alcove, placed on a stone hearth, or arranged beside an open inglenook to introduce warm metallic accents.

Maintain brass fire dogs by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and using a mild metal polish to remove oxidation, or leave unpolished to preserve an aged patina.
