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

A peacock fan fire screen is a decorative metal hearth accessory popularised in the nineteenth century, featuring hinged pierced blades that unfold to conceal an unlit fireplace grate.

These screens were predominantly manufactured using cast and pierced sheet brass, incorporating central iron weights within the base for stability and bronze pivots for smooth opening.

Authentic antique examples feature heavy cast metal bases, hand-chased relief detailing, original threaded pivot pins, and subtle oxidisation within the recessed areas.

Position the screen centrally on a fireplace hearth to obscure empty grates, or display it fully expanded as an architectural metalwork sculpture.

Dust the intricate filigree sections regularly using a soft-bristled brush, and apply a light application of specialist metal polish to preserve the patinated surface.
