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

Aubusson cushions feature woven textile covers created using flat-weave tapestry techniques originating from the Aubusson region of France. These pieces historically feature elaborate floral, foliate, or scrollwork designs rendered in muted tones.

Authentic Aubusson tapestries are woven primarily from wool and silk yarns mounted onto a sturdy linen or cotton warp. The decorative borders frequently incorporate passementerie, including silk fringe, woven trim, or tassel embellishments.

Genuine historical examples display fine hand-woven flat stitches with slight irregular variations typical of loom weaving, alongside natural dyes that show subtle tonal shifts. The reverse side typically features replacement backing fabric or historical re-upholstery stitching.

Placing a tapestry cushion on a neutral modern sofa or armchair introduces historical texture without overwhelming contemporary decor. Pairing it with plain linen or velvet cushions creates a balanced contrast between structured antique textiles and plain fabrics.

Position the cushion away from direct sunlight to prevent dye degradation, and avoid liquid cleaning agents. Professional dry cleaning by a textile conservator and soft vacuuming through a mesh screen are recommended to preserve antique fibres.
