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

Historically, fire fenders were placed around open hearths to retain coal embers and ash within the fireplace perimeter, protecting timber floors and decorative rugs from fire damage.

19th-century brass fenders were typically constructed using rolled or cast brass components, featuring turned or twisted upright spindles mounted onto a solid brass base plate with supporting cast feet.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-assembled construction, hand-cut screw threads, casting seams, age-appropriate surface wear, and a natural patina beneath polished surfaces.

An antique brass guard can be positioned directly on a stone or tiled hearth in front of an open fire, wood-burning stove, or decorative non-working fireplace opening.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and clean periodically using a gentle brass polish or warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals that strip original surface patination.
