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.

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 paired metal supports designed to hold logs elevated within a fireplace, improving air circulation for efficient combustion. During the Arts and Crafts movement, designers focused on honest construction, functional geometry, and exposed metal craftsmanship rather than excessive Victorian ornamentation.

Arts and Crafts hearth accessories were predominantly crafted from solid cast or wrought brass, iron, and copper. Construction methods relied on cast components, riveted joins, turned finials, and incised geometric patterning that highlighted the intrinsic qualities of the metal.

Authentic pieces feature structural weight, crisp geometric or stylised organic decoration, and signs of period manufacture such as hand-chased details or threaded assembly rods. Looking for maker marks, registration stamps, or design motifs associated with key figures like Christopher Dresser or W.A.S. Benson can also aid identification.

Position brass firedogs within a working or decorative fireplace hearth to add architectural warmth and historical texture. They can be placed alongside modern minimalist log holders or set inside an unlit fireplace cavity with sculptural wood blocks to serve as a visual focal point.

Dust the metal regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth to prevent soot accumulation. If polishing is desired, use a gentle metal polish suitable for unlacquered brass, taking care not to strip away natural age-related patina or soot residue in deeper carved recesses.
