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

Andirons, also known as firedogs, are paired metal brackets placed on a hearth to support burning logs, elevating the fuel to improve air circulation and combustion.

Traditional firedogs are hand-forged by blacksmiths using wrought iron, featuring hammer-formed joinery, twisted stems, scrolled feet, and integrated hooks or cresset tops.

Authentic antique ironwork displays hand-hammered surface irregularities, pit marks, forge-welded joints, and natural age-related oxidisation rather than uniform machine welding.

Place these ironwork pieces within an inglenook fireplace, set them inside a converted decorative hearth with stacked timber, or display them as standalone architectural metalwork.

Clean ironwork with a soft wire brush or dry cloth to remove loose rust and debris, then apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax or beeswax to protect against moisture corrosion.
