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

Fire dogs, also known as andirons, were placed inside open hearths to elevate wooden logs off the hearth floor, allowing improved airflow underneath to feed the fire and preventing rolling logs.

Traditional fire dogs were typically crafted from cast iron or wrought iron for structural heat resistance, often featuring cast or turned brass and bronze decorative finials.

Authentic period pieces often feature hand-cut threads, seam lines from historical casting methods, natural oxidisation on brass surfaces, and soot accumulation or heat wear on the iron billets.

In modern interiors, fire dogs can be arranged within non-working original hearths alongside stacked birch logs, or integrated into functional fireplaces to support modern iron grates.

Iron components should be treated with black grate polish or paste wax to prevent rust, while brass finials can be gently cleaned using specialised metal polish or fine wire wool to preserve historic patina.
