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

Cast iron firebacks were originally installed at the rear of open hearth fireplaces to protect the stone masonry from heat damage and radiate heat back into the room.

Traditional firebacks were created using open sand-casting methods, where molten iron was poured into sand moulds impressed with carved wooden patterns.

Authentic period firebacks feature signs of prolonged thermal exposure, uneven sand-cast surfaces, thick profiles, and natural surface oxidisation acquired over centuries.

An antique fireback can be placed inside an active or disused fireplace opening, mounted directly onto a wall as an architectural feature, or set upon a low display base.

To preserve cast iron, brush away loose dust with a wire brush and periodically apply black grate polish or iron paste to prevent surface rust.
