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

Firedogs, also known as andirons, were positioned in pairs within open hearths to elevate fuel logs, improving air circulation and combustion efficiency. Companion tools, including tongs, pokers, and shovels, evolved alongside them to allow safe management of embers and ash.

Traditional hearth equipment was typically cast or forged from solid brass, iron, or steel to withstand elevated thermal exposure. Cast brass was frequently chosen for decorative exterior components, while functional iron handles or working ends offered durability against direct flame.

Authentic pieces often exhibit threaded rod construction, cast seams, turned decorative finials, and subtle surface wear from historical heat exposure. Original brass items typically demonstrate variable wall thickness and age-related tarnish within recessed detailing.

Polished brass fireside tools provide a warm metallic accent when positioned alongside brick, stone, or painted timber surrounds. Placing them on a clean stone hearth creates a focused decorative arrangement in traditional or eclectic living spaces.

Dust the metal regularly with a soft cloth and apply a specialized brass polish to eliminate surface tarnish and restore shine. To prevent accelerated oxidisation, store the pieces in a dry environment away from damp conditions.
