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

During the mid-19th century in France, decorative hearth accessories known as chenets or andirons reflected classical revivals, featuring sculpted human figures, mythological motifs, and intricate bronze castings designed to elevate fireplace aesthetics in grand residences.

Traditional firedogs from this period typically feature cast bronze or brass decorative fronts joined to heavy wrought or cast iron dogs behind, which support the firewood and withstand direct heat.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-chased details, uneven oxidation or natural patina in recessed areas, threaded iron assemblies rather than modern welds, and substantial visual weight.

Position them on a marble or stone hearth within a working or decorative fireplace opening to create a warm textural contrast against clean modern architectural lines.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that can strip the historic patina; light application of microcrystalline wax preserves the surface.
