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 hob grate is a type of fireplace insert featuring flat metal plates, known as hobs, positioned on either side of the central fire basket, which were historically used to keep kettles or plates warm.

Regency fire grates were primarily manufactured from heavy cast iron for optimal heat retention, frequently detailed with wrought iron bars, steel accents, and brass or gilt-bronze decorative embellishments.

Authentic Regency pieces feature heavy iron castings, crisp classical or gothic motif mouldings such as anthemion leaves or lion paws, genuine age-related surface oxidation, and precise metal assembly.

A Regency hob grate can be installed within a chimney breast framed by a simple marble or carved stone mantle piece, creating a historic focal point within both traditional and contemporary living spaces.

Clean the ironwork using a dry cloth or soft wire brush to remove debris and soot, then apply a traditional graphite grate polish or black lead to protect against rust and maintain the metallic finish.
