19th century
For Sale by FB Antiques
Description

For sale is a fine and rare large Victorian rosewood screen, having an ornately carved top, above embroidery, depicting a dog jumping up at a parrot on a perch, with two other small birds on the perch beside it another dog lies on the base of the perch, on the left, holding a feather in its mouth, its paw on a sealed letter after Landseer. 1851. The parrots stand and chain are all in bead work. A print of this picture is owned by the British museum and has the following inscription: Inscription type: inscription

Inscription content: Lettered below the image with the title, around a crest, and dedication 'by Royal Command', of the 'Engraving from the Picture painted in 1839', from the publisher to the Queen, and 'Painted by Sir Edwin Landseer, R.A. // Engraved by W.T.

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

A Victorian fire screen is a freestanding decorative panel created during the nineteenth century to shield room occupants from the direct radiant heat and glare of an open hearth.

These screens typically combine carved hardwood frames, such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, with central panels made from hand-stitched wool needlepoint, silk embroidery, or tapestry.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces display hand-carved frame joinery, natural timber patination, and hand-stitched textile work that shows visible irregularities on the reverse side.

Position the piece in front of an unused fireplace hearth or within an alcove to introduce texture, warmth, and historical detail to a living space.

Position the item away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent textile fading and timber movement, and clean the fabric gently using a low-suction vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
