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

Originating in the 19th century in Switzerland and Germany, these pieces were designed to shield occupants from the direct heat of an open fire while serving as hearth accessories. They typically feature hand-carved frames inspired by wildlife, foliage, and natural motifs.

These screens were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or lime wood, which allowed for intricate carving. The central panel frequently featured needlepoint, woven tapestry, or silk textiles set within the frame.

Authentic pieces exhibit high-relief hand carving with visible tool marks and organic variations. The wood shows natural age patina, historical joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, and wear consistent with placement near a hearth.

Position the screen on a fireplace hearth or inside an unused fireplace opening to create a structural focal point. It can also be placed in a room corner or alcove as an accent piece displaying historic wood carving and textiles.

Keep the piece away from active moisture or direct heat to prevent wood movement and fabric degradation. Dust the carved frame regularly using a soft brush and apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to protect the wood finish.
