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.

A large English George III giltwood fire screen stands 110 cm high, 73 cm wide, and 50 cm deep. The carved gold frame displays elaborate Rococo C-scrolls, a prominent carved cresting, and scroll feet supporting the structure. A needlepoint tapestry panel set within the gold border depicts a central bird embroidery among floral motifs, rendered in shades of red, white, yellow, and green against a neutral fabric background. Positioned in front of a fireplace hearth, this piece serves as a decorative room accessory within an English country house interior setting. The giltwood surface exhibits minor signs of age consistent with country house condition and little to no prior restoration. A glass cover protects the needlework tapestry, while the reverse side consists of painted canvas.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century Britain, George III fire screens were designed to shield occupants from the direct heat of an open hearth while serving as decorative focal points in formal reception rooms.

These screens typically feature hand-carved timber frames finished with gesso and gold leaf gilding, enclosing a textile panel such as needlepoint, silk embroidery, or tapestry.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved joinery details, subtle surface oxidisation or wear to the gilding, and period-appropriate hand-stitching on the central textile panel.

Position the screen directly in front of an unused fireplace or beside an active hearth to introduce texture, metallic warmth, and historical structure to a contemporary living room.

Dust the carved frame lightly with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquids or chemical polishes that damage gold leaf, and position the textile away from direct sunlight.
