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 metal bracket supports placed within an open hearth. They elevate firewood off the hearth floor to improve airflow for combustion while preventing burning logs from rolling forward into the room.

Victorian examples were predominantly cast in solid brass, bronze, or wrought iron using sand-moulding techniques. Decorative elements were typically finished by hand, featuring turned finials, chased masks, and threaded iron assembly rods on the rear.

Authentic period pieces display subtle manual casting variations, historic hand-tool marks, and natural surface wear. The iron support bars or underside cast elements often retain evidence of heat exposure and natural oxidisation rather than modern uniform coating.

These hearth accessories can be placed inside an inactive decorative chimney breast to add architectural interest, or arranged alongside contemporary wood-burning stoves to introduce texture and period character to a modern living room.

Dust regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth. To preserve natural age-acquired patina, avoid abrasive chemical polishes and clean gently with mild soap solution only when necessary, ensuring the metal is dried thoroughly afterwards.
