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 Rococo fire screens from this period are characterized by asymmetric scrollwork, organic motifs such as floral garlands, ribbons, and torches, and cast gilt bronze or brass frames surrounding fine wire mesh.

These items were built with cast bronze or brass frames finished with mercury gilding or lacquer, fitted with hand-woven metal mesh panels held together by integrated hinges and standing on cast decorative feet.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast weight, hand-chased relief detailing, original steel or brass hinge pins, minor oxidisation in crevices, and woven wire mesh showing subtle irregular wear.

Place the screen directly on the fireplace hearth in front of an open grate or non-working hearth to add texture, metallic warm contrast, and architectural interest to the living space.

Dust the wire mesh and cast frame using a soft dry brush or low-suction vacuum attachment, avoiding abrasive metal polishes and chemical solvents that could remove original gilding.
