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 footman is a four-legged metal stand designed to sit on the hearth in front of an open fire. Originating in the eighteenth century, it was used to keep kettles, irons, or serving dishes warm using radiant heat from the fire.

Georgian footmen were typically constructed with a cast or sheet brass top plate and decorative apron, supported by brass cabriole front legs and iron rear legs to withstand direct hearth heat.

Authentic Georgian footmen typically feature hand-cut pierced fretwork aprons, cast brass cabriole legs, hand-riveted joints, and an iron substructure showing evidence of historical hand-forging.

An antique brass footman can be positioned inside a fireplace hearth, used as a low plant stand, or placed as an occasional side piece beside soft seating to add warm metal textures.

Dust the item regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply specialized brass polish to bright metal areas while taking care not to strip historic patination from the iron frame.
