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.

This Arts and Crafts fire screen dates from circa 1890 and is constructed from copper and brass. The rectangular panel features a shaped top edge bordered by a brass frame, resting upon two curved splayed feet and finished with an ornate sinuous loop handle at the top. The central repousse relief scene depicts a cannon mounted on a stone wall overlooking waves, with stylised clouds filling the upper portion. Measuring 65 cm high, 42 cm wide, and 16.5 cm deep, this piece serves as a hearth accessory before a fireplace in a study, library, or living room. The warm tones of the hammered copper contrast with the bright brass framing, bringing decorative texture and period character to interior spaces.

FAQs

Arts and Crafts fire screens typically feature hand-crafted metalwork, such as repousse copper or wrought iron, emphasizing hand-artistry, nature, or historical motifs over industrial mass production.

These items commonly combine hammered copper or brass panels with tubular metal frames and integral carrying handles designed to withstand thermal exposure near the hearth.

Authentic examples feature raised relief designs worked by hand from the reverse side, showing distinct tool impression marks, natural surface patination, and hand-fitted frame construction.

Position the screen directly in front of an unused fireplace opening or stove hearth to act as a decorative focal point that complements natural brick and wood textures.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive chemical polishes, which strip away historical patination and surface oxidisation.
