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, are decorative metal supports placed in pairs within a fireplace hearth to hold burning logs off the hearth floor, improving airflow and combustion.

Victorian fire dogs were predominantly cast from solid brass, copper, and wrought or cast iron, often featuring turned urn finials and fluted embellishments.

Period pieces typically feature cast construction marks, threaded rod assemblies with square nuts, hand-chased decorative details, and natural age-related patina or verdigris in recesses.

These pieces can be placed within an open hearth setting to add metallic tones, or displayed purely decoratively beside a stove or within an ornamental fireplace surround.

Clean gently with a soft cloth and non-abrasive brass polish to maintain the finish, avoiding harsh chemicals that might strip historical patina or damage mixed metal joinery.
