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.

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

During the nineteenth century, boot scrapers were essential entrance fixtures designed to remove mud and debris from footwear prior to entering urban townhouses or country residences.

These items were produced by pouring molten iron into sand moulds, resulting in heavy, durable pieces with detailed relief patterns such as foliate arches and knapped finials.

Authentic examples typically feature substantial weight, crisp cast details, integrated dirt-collection trays, and evidence of historical weathering or minor oxidisation around the joints.

Positioning a cast iron scraper beside an entryway, inside a porch, or near a back garden door adds historical character while serving a functional purpose for modern outdoor footwear.

To maintain cast iron, regularly brush away loose dirt, keep the surface dry, and apply a light coat of microcrystalline wax or iron paste to prevent active oxidisation.
