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

Known historically as Byobu, folding screens are hinged architectural panels used as portable room dividers, draft breaks, or decorative backdrops, originating in East Asia and gaining widespread interest in Western interiors during the late 19th century.

These screens typically feature wooden panel cores coated in multiple layers of mineral or urushi lacquer, often detailed with gilt paint, mother-of-pearl, carved bone, or relief figures fashioned from polished hardstones.

Authentic period screens demonstrate hand-applied gilt work, brass protective corner mounts, natural craquelure within the lacquer surface, and hand-carved inlay techniques rather than modern printed transfer patterns.

A four-panel screen can be placed partially folded in an empty corner to create height, mounted flat on a focal wall as large-scale artwork, or positioned to separate functional zones within open-plan spaces.

Position the screen away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood movement and cracking, and clear surface dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth without liquid cleaners, oils, or waxes.
