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.

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

Cisele velvet is a specialised weaving technique featuring both cut pile and uncut loop pile on a flat silk ground, creating a textured three-dimensional relief pattern historically favoured in 17th and 18th-century European textiles.

It was hand-woven on specialised looms using fine silk threads, combining a flat woven ground with raised pile patterns created by inserting wire rods into the warp loops during the weaving process.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-loomed selvages, irregular thread counts, natural dye variations, and characteristic wear patterns on the silk ground or pile consistent with multi-century age.

Mounted on a conservation-grade stretcher or framed within a protective display case, an antique silk textile serves as a focal point above a console table, mantelpiece, or sideboard.

Keep the textile away from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations, clean only via specialist textile conservators, and ensure it is mounted using acid-free materials with padded supports.
