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.

Wrought iron sign brackets were mounted on exterior facades of commercial premises, public houses, and tradesmens shops during the 19th and early 20th centuries. They projected perpendicular to the wall to support trade signs, ensuring visibility for pedestrians and passing traffic.

These brackets were constructed from forged iron, incorporating hand-hammered components, riveted joins, and twisted structural stays. Decorative scrollwork and shaped backplates were forged to provide wind resistance while supporting heavy timber or metal signs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-forged joinery, subtle variations in scrollwork dimensions, and surface textures consistent with historic ironwork, including layered paint or natural oxidisation. Modern reproductions typically display uniform machine welds, lightweight cast alloys, and smooth powder coatings.

In contemporary spaces, architectural sign brackets can be mounted on interior brick or painted walls to suspend lanterns, hanging planters, or directional signage. They are utilised in commercial venues, entryways, or open-plan areas to introduce architectural metalwork.

To preserve historic ironwork, keep the item dry and apply microcrystalline wax or a rust-inhibiting sealant if exposed to moisture. Dusting regularly with a soft bristle brush removes accumulated dirt without disturbing underlying paint layers or surface patina.
