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

Art Nouveau screens from this era typically feature organic, sinuous wood carving inspired by natural forms, known as whiplash curves. Frames often integrate glazed upper sections with fabric lower panels, showcasing a blend of structure and decorative textile work.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised fine hardwoods such as walnut, rosewood, or mahogany for the framing. The panels commonly feature glass or bevelled mirror inserts alongside woven silk, damask, or embroidered upholstery secured with brass hinges.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved asymmetrical detailing, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, and double-acting brass hinges. The timber should show natural oxidisation, and the glass panels often exhibit subtle hand-blown irregularities.

A folding screen can be used to delineate functional zones in an open-plan room, create a private dressing area in a bedroom, or serve as a decorative backdrop behind a sofa or dining table to add vertical height and texture.

Clean timber frames using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax paste annually. Clean glass panels with a lightly dampened cloth, ensuring moisture does not contact the fabric or wood, and vacuum textile panels gently using a soft brush attachment.
