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

Victorian fireside companion sets typically consist of three to four functional fire irons, including a poker, tongs, and a shovel, designed for tending open solid-fuel hearths. These sets were crafted from cast iron, steel, or cast brass, often featuring ornate turned handles, decorative shovel blades, and matching stands.

19th-century hearth tools were primarily manufactured from cast or sheet brass, wrought iron, and polished steel. Brass was favoured for upscale drawing room sets due to its decorative lustre, while heavier cast iron was common for utility spaces and everyday fires.

Authentic period tools feature construction details such as hand-riveted joints, threaded connections, threaded finials, and subtle asymmetry from hand-finishing. Natural wear, fine surface pitting, cast seams inside handles, and oxidation in unpolished crevices also indicate genuine age.

Position the set directly beside an open hearth, log burner, or decorative fireplace surround to add warmth and historical texture. The reflective brass tone complements both traditional painted mantels and contemporary dark stone hearths.

Regular dusting with a soft dry cloth prevents soot build-up. To maintain the bright finish, clean periodically with a specialized brass polish; alternatively, allow a natural aged patina to develop by omitting harsh chemical cleaners.
