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 termed firedogs, are horizontal metal brackets set in pairs within an open fireplace to elevate burning wood. Elevating the logs allows air to circulate underneath the fuel, promoting efficient combustion while reducing smoke inside the room.

Victorian hearth accessories were predominantly constructed from heavy cast iron for fire-resistant stability, often combined with cast or turned brass decorative elements. The iron forms the main structural body and rear log supports, while brass adorns the front facing standards.

Authentic 19th-century examples display casting seam lines along the iron components, minor variations in hand-finished brass mounts, and natural surface oxidisation or soot buildup. Victorian pieces frequently feature period motifs such as lion masks, urn finials, and strapwork ornamentation.

Firedogs can be positioned inside working open fireplaces, placed alongside decorative non-working hearths with logs resting on them, or used purely as sculptural floor accents within traditional or transitional living rooms.

Cast iron components should be kept dry and periodically treated with black grate polish or iron wax to prevent corrosion. Brass elements can be cleaned using dedicated metal polish to maintain brightness or left unpolished to develop an aged natural patina.
