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.

This 18th century Georgian footman is a practical hearth accessory constructed from brass and steel with a polished brass and dark steel finish. The piece comprises a flat rectangular top plate with a central rectangular handle slot, side ring carrying handles, and a decorative pierced front apron featuring floral leaf motifs. It stands raised on four slender, outward-curving shaped legs connected by low side stretchers and a curved front rail, showing visible surface weathering and age-related patina to the metal surfaces. Measuring 31 cm high by 28.5 cm wide and 25 cm deep, this compact accessory fits neatly beside a working fireplace or wood-burning stove as a fireside stand or decorative accent in a traditional reception room.

FAQs

A footman is a free-standing metal trivet or low stand placed on the hearth in front of an open fire, traditionally used to keep teapots, kettles, or serving dishes warm via radiant heat.

Georgian footmans were typically constructed using a combination of forged iron or steel for the structural legs and frame, with cast or sheet brass used for decorative pierced front aprons, handles, and top surfaces.

Authentic period examples feature hand-riveted construction, hand-pierced decorative aprons, subtle irregularities in forged steel legs, and natural oxidisation consistent with historical hearth use.

A footman can be styled directly on a fireplace hearth, or repurposed as a unique decorative riser for potted plants, books, or decorative objects on a side table.

Maintain the surface by wiping regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a thin coat of microcrystalline wax to protect the metal from rust without altering the aged patina.
