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.
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.
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.

Designed during the 18th century, a Georgian boot scraper is an architectural metalwork item placed near residential entryways to clean mud and soil from footwear prior to entering a home.

Most authentic 18th and 19th-century boot scrapers were crafted from heavy cast iron or hand-forged wrought iron to ensure stability and resistance against outdoor exposure.

Authentic period pieces display characteristic heavy casting, original seam lines, surface pitting from historical oxidisation, and classical decorative motifs such as scrollwork, shells, or claw feet.

While originally functional outdoor fittings, antique boot scrapers are styled inside modern hallways, sheltered porches, or beside fireplace hearths as sculptural ironwork accents.

Dust the metal surface regularly with a soft brush and apply a thin layer of clear microcrystalline wax to prevent corrosion while retaining the original iron patina.
