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

Fire screens were designed to shield room occupants from the direct heat of an open hearth fire and protect makeup from melting. Three-fold designs provided adjustable heat redirection around the fireplace.

These items generally combine a wooden frame coated in gold leaf or gilt paint with canvas or wooden insert panels that feature hand-painted oil artwork.

Authentic pieces feature traditional mortise and tenon joinery, natural wear or clay bole visible beneath the gilding, and age-related surface cracking known as craquelure on the painted oil panels.

A folding fire screen can be positioned in front of an unused fireplace hearth, placed on top of a sideboard to serve as artwork, or positioned in a room corner to add depth.

Dust the giltwood frame lightly using a soft, dry brush to avoid lifting the gold leaf finish. Keep the painted canvas panels away from high moisture and direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
