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

During the 19th century, face screens were held by individuals sitting near open hearths to shield their complexions and wax-based cosmetic treatments from intense heat.

They were made by pressing wet paper layers treated with adhesive into moulds, which were cured, black-lacquered, decorated with hand-painted artwork and mother-of-pearl inlays, and attached to turned handles.

Authentic period examples feature fine craquelure within the heavy dark lacquer, hand-applied mother-of-pearl showing natural iridescence, and turned wooden or bone handles with gilded detailing.

These decorative accessories can be displayed upright on a mantelpiece using plate stands, arranged inside an inactive fireplace alcove, or styled flat on a sideboard.

Dust surface areas gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid liquids or solvent cleaners that dissolve delicate lacquer finishes, and keep away from damp environments or direct sources of heat.
