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.

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

A fire fender and chenet set serves both functional and decorative purposes in traditional fireplaces. Chenets or fire dogs support logs to improve airflow, while the surrounding fender curb prevents embers from spilling onto the surrounding floor and frames the hearth.

High-end French hearth accessories were predominantly crafted from cast bronze, often treated with dark patination or mercury gilding (ormolu). Parcel gilt finishes combined polished gold surfaces with dark oxidized bronze to create visual contrast.

Authentic pieces feature sharp detail from hand-chasing, heavy cast metal construction, and evidence of historical hand-assembly such as threaded rods, square nuts, and hand-cut screws rather than modern uniform fixings.

A bronze fire fender can be placed in front of an active or decorative fireplace opening to ground the room. It pairs well with natural stone surrounds, marble hearths, and minimalist mantels to add texture and historical contrast.

Dust regularly using a soft dry brush or lint-free microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners, as these can strip original patination and gilt layers; a light application of conservators microcrystalline wax can preserve the metal.
