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

A companion set is a freestanding collection of hearth tools used to maintain a solid fuel open fire. Historically popular throughout the Victorian and Edwardian periods, these sets typically consist of a poker, shovel, tongs, and brush held upon a central matching stand.

Traditional companion sets were predominantly constructed from cast iron, solid brass, steel, or wrought iron. Brass was particularly favoured for formal reception rooms due to its reflective surface and decorative appeal, often featuring turned detailing and weighted bases for stability.

Authentic period pieces often feature cast brass elements with hand-chased details, threaded rod assembly, and minor surface asymmetry from historic hand-finishing. Look for signs of natural oxidisation in unpolished recesses and wear on tool heads consistent with actual hearth use.

Place the companion set directly on the hearth adjacent to a wood-burning stove or traditional open fireplace. The warm metallic tones of polished brass complement both stone surrounds and dark painted alcoves, creating a focal point in living spaces.

Maintain brass tools by wiping away ash and dust with a soft, dry cloth. To restore brightness, apply a specialised brass cleaner with cotton wool, working in small sections before buffing thoroughly; avoid abrasive scourers that could scratch the metallic finish.
