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

Chinese table screens, or desk screens, originated as functional items placed on scholar desks to block draughts, shield burning incense, and isolate the worker from distractions. Over time, particularly during the Ming and Qing dynasties, they evolved into highly decorative display objects symbolizing status and refined taste.

Traditional Chinese table screens feature dense hardwoods such as zitan, hongmu, or rosewood for the carved frames and stands. The central inserts frequently incorporate woven silk embroidery, painted panels, carved jade, or marble slabs depicting landscapes and court figures.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved joinery, such as mortise and tenon joints, along with intricate pierced fretwork on the aprons and feet. The embedded silk artwork typically demonstrates hand-woven or hand-embroidered techniques with natural vegetable dyes and traditional Qing dynasty costume details.

These decorative objects work well when placed symmetrically on a modern sideboard, console table, or wide mantelpiece. Pairing rich dark wood and detailed silk artwork against neutral or contemporary backgrounds creates a balanced, curated focal point.

To preserve the silk and wood, keep the screens out of direct sunlight and high humidity, which can cause textile fading and timber warping. Dust the hardwood frames gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes on the delicate silk panels.
