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 purdonium is a specialized type of coal scuttle or box, named after its designer Mr Purdon in the nineteenth century, created to enclose coal neatly beside a domestic fireplace.

Arts and Crafts hearthware typically combined sheet copper or brass vessels with hand-forged wrought iron cradles, riveted seams, and decorative scrollwork.

Authentic pieces feature riveted copper construction, hand-forged iron frames, sloped lift-up lids, and natural signs of age such as surface oxidisation or historic fireside wear.

A copper purdonium can be placed beside a wood-burning stove or traditional hearth to store kindling, logs, or fireside tools.

Wipe the copper body with a dry microfibre cloth or suitable metal polish, and apply a light coat of microcrystalline wax to the wrought iron frame to prevent corrosion.
