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

Introduced during the eighteenth century, pole screens were designed to shield a sitters face from the direct heat of an open fire while allowing warmth to circulate around the room, protecting delicate complexions and wax-based cosmetics.

Pole screens from the William IV period were predominantly constructed from fine hardwoods such as rosewood or mahogany, featuring hand-stitched needlepoint or wool tapestry panels mounted on a brass-fitted adjustable column.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display hand-carved wood joinery, brass screw tension collars or slide mechanisms on the central pole, and hand-stitched wool embroidery showing natural light ageing to the reverse.

An antique pole screen can be placed beside a restored fireplace, within an alcove, or in a reading corner to serve as an accent piece, introducing historical texture and material depth to contemporary schemes.

Keep the screen away from direct sunlight and modern heat sources to prevent thread fading and wood warping, dusting the timber frame with a soft cloth and gently cleaning the needlepoint using a low-suction vacuum with a mesh screen guard.
