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

During the nineteenth century, fire guards served both functional and decorative roles in wealthy households, designed to protect drawing room interiors from flying embers while displaying ornate metalworking craftsmanship inspired by classical French styles.

These screens were predominantly constructed using cast or stamped brass frames, finished with gilding or lacquered finishes, and fitted with fine woven metal wire mesh panels to catch sparks while permitting heat transmission.

Authentic pieces feature heavy cast elements, hand-finished ornamentation such as ribbon tie-backs or floral garlands, Period structural fittings, original mesh weaving, and natural oxidisation along the metal joints.

Positioning a gilt fire screen inside an empty hearth alcove or directly in front of an open fireplace introduces texture, metal tones, and historical structure to contemporary living areas.

Dust regularly using a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical metal polishes that can remove original gilding, and gently clear dust build-up from the wire mesh with a low-powered vacuum setting.
