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

Fire dogs, also known as andirons, are paired metal brackets placed inside an open fireplace to support burning logs, elevating them above the hearth floor to improve airflow, draught, and combustion efficiency.

Historically, firedogs were forged from wrought iron or cast in iron, brass, or bronze, chosen for their ability to withstand intense heat and structural weight over extended periods.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-forged joinery, subtle irregularities in hand-worked metal, heavy visual weight, and natural surface patination or slight oxidisation rather than uniform modern powder coatings.

In modern settings, large iron firedogs can be placed inside an unused brick or stone fireplace alcove, combined with dry birch logs, or displayed as structural hearth sculpture.

To preserve ironwork, keep the metal dry to prevent rust, brush away ash regularly with a soft bristle brush, and occasionally apply a thin coat of clear beeswax or black grate polish to protect the surface.
