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.

Originating in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, door porters were heavy metal weights designed to hold open interior doors, assisting airflow and movement throughout a home.

These items were produced by pouring molten iron into two-part sand moulds, resulting in detailed relief forms with flat or hollowed backs and heavily weighted bases.

Authentic period examples display natural surface oxidisation, visible sand-casting seams, original painted or patinated surfaces, and substantial weight relative to their size.

A cast iron door porter can be placed adjacent to a doorway, set within an inactive fireplace hearth, or positioned on lower shelving as a decorative metal accent.

Dust the item regularly using a dry brush, keep it clear of moisture to prevent rust, and apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax to protect the patinated surface.
