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

Produced during the Georgian era (17141837), these hearth accessories were designed for managing open coal or wood fires and characteristically exhibit classical symmetry, urn-shaped finials, and detailed engraving or fretwork.

High-grade hand-forged steel, wrought iron, and cast brass were the primary materials, with steel pieces frequently polished to a bright reflective finish and decorated with intricate pierced work on shovel pans.

Authentic items from this period typically display hand-forged joint lines, minor artisan variations in proportion, neoclassical urn or acorn finials, and hand-engraved or pierced decorative patterns on the shovel pan.

Placed beside a fireplace on a stone or tiled hearth, these historic metalwork pieces add tactile texture, structural form, and historical depth to contemporary living spaces.

Keep the steel dry and clean, regularly applying microcrystalline wax or light mineral oil to guard against humidity and oxidisation, while avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade surface details.
