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

French Empire Revival fire screens draw inspiration from early 19th-century Napoleonic design, incorporating classical motifs such as flaming torches, laurel wreaths, and rosettes onto cast gilt metal frames.

These screens typically feature cast bronze or brass frames finished with gilding or ormolu, enclosing a fine woven steel or iron mesh panel designed to contain embers.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast metal construction, precise chasing on decorative elements, natural age-related oxidisation in recessed areas, and hand-woven mesh panels secured with period fasteners.

Positioned on a hearth in front of an open fireplace or chimney breast, a gilt bronze screen functions as a functional barrier while complementing marble surrounds and traditional architectural details.

Dust the metal frame and mesh regularly with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristled brush, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that can damage original gilding or lacquer coatings.
