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

Door porters, or weighted door stops, gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth century to hold heavy timber doors open in grand residences, frequently featuring heraldic motifs such as lions, crests, and castles.

These items were typically cast in heavy bronze or iron using sand-casting moulds, often mounted onto weighted metal bases to provide sufficient stability against solid doors.

Authentic pieces display hand-finished casting seams, natural oxidisation in recessed areas, significant structural weight, and smooth wear patterns on the underside of the base.

In addition to their functional placement at doorways, these decorative objects serve as sculptural bookends on shelving units or as decorative accents on a fireplace hearth.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax to protect the metal from oxidisation, avoiding abrasive polishes that strip historic patination.
