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.
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.
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.

Fire screens were introduced to shield room occupants from the intense heat of open fires and to prevent facial makeup from melting. During the nineteenth century, they evolved into decorative parlour accents used to conceal empty hearth grates during warmer months.

Victorian fire screens were commonly constructed using carved hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or rosewood. The central panels frequently featured silk or wool needlework, often protected behind a clear glass pane.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved joinery details, natural age-related patination on the wooden feet, and fine hand-stitched threadwork rather than machine embroidery.

Position the screen directly inside an unused fireplace opening or display it alongside a hearth to add historical texture and botanical detail to living areas.

Keep the screen away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent the fading and weakening of silk fibres. Clean the wooden frame using a soft microfibre cloth and gentle wax polish.
