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 tool dogs, or fire iron rests, were designed to elevate hearth utensils such as pokers, tongs, and shovels off the floor while framing the fireplace.

They were predominantly cast from solid brass or iron, featuring turned horizontal crossbars, gadrooned central urn motifs, and tripod claw or paw feet.

Authentic period examples often display cast makers marks, registration stamps, heavy cast-brass construction, and Victorian design features such as gadrooning and scrollwork.

They can be placed on a hearth to add architectural structure to a working fireplace, or arranged decoratively inside an empty fireplace alcove.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and clean occasionally with a dedicated brass polish, avoiding harsh chemicals that could remove historical patina.
