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

Needlework samplers originated as reference panels for embroiderers to practise stitches, evolving by the 19th century into educational exercises for young women to demonstrate literacy, numeracy, and domestic sewing skills.

19th-century samplers were typically hand-stitched onto linen or canvas ground fabrics using silk or wool threads, primarily employing cross stitch, satin stitch, and backstitch techniques.

Authentic pieces feature hand-loomed linen substrates, natural thread fading consistent with age, irregular hand-stitched tension, and inscribed dates, names, or ages worked directly into the embroidery.

Mount the textile in a simple hardwood frame and display it as part of a wall gallery alongside antique botanical prints, engraved portraits, or traditional oil paintings.

Display the sampler away from direct sunlight, mount it using acid-free archival materials under UV-filtering glass, and maintain a stable indoor humidity level to prevent fibre degradation.
