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 paired metal supports placed inside a fireplace hearth to hold burning logs above the floor, improving airflow and combustion efficiency.

Turn-of-the-century fire dogs were typically crafted from hand-forged wrought iron or cast iron, frequently incorporating decorative copper or brass accents, twisted stems, and hand-rolled scrollwork.

Authentic period pieces show signs of hand-hammering, irregular surface texture, riveted construction, stepped scroll joins, and natural surface oxidisation rather than uniform modern machine welds.

Antique fire dogs add visual weight and architectural texture when placed inside an open hearth, a modern stove recess, or styled decoratively alongside natural stone and brickwork.

Wrought iron should be cleaned with a stiff brush to remove soot and debris, then treated with a thin coat of microcrystalline wax or traditional black grate polish to prevent rust and maintain the patina.
