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

In Victorian homes, fire screens were positioned in front of open hearths to shield occupants from direct radiant heat and drafts while serving as decorative display pieces for needlework.

These screens were commonly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, combined with hand-stitched wool or silk needlepoint panels mounted behind protective glass.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature spool or bobbin turnings produced on a hand lathe, carved trestle feet, and period-correct wool needlework with light age-related patination.

Place the screen adjacent to an unlit fireplace, within a hallway, or in a reading corner to introduce historic texture and woodwork without cluttering the space.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to the wood, and keep the textile panel away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
