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

Designed in the Neoclassical fashion popularised by Robert and James Adam in the 18th century, these fire grates feature balanced classical proportions, urn-shaped finials, serpentine fronts, and refined decorative motifs such as rosettes and swags.

Period fire grates are predominantly constructed from heavy cast iron for fire containment and heat retention, paired with polished or cast brass elements used for decorative front aprons, supports, and finials.

Authentic examples demonstrate cast iron backplates with structural weight, hand-chased brass detail work, square-headed structural bolts or rivets, and proportional architectural features typical of late 18th and early 19th-century metalwork.

An antique fire grate can be positioned inside a traditional open fireplace opening or fitted with modern LED electric flame effects for decorative display within non-working hearth alcoves.

Cast iron components should be maintained using traditional grate polish or black lead polish to protect against moisture and rust, while brass fittings require gentle wiping with a specialised metal cleaner to preserve their lustre without removing historical patina.
