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.

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 17th century, woven tapestries were among the most expensive and prestigious art forms in Europe, produced predominantly in Flemish and French workshops. Tapestry borders were designed to frame large central narrative scenes or serve as decorative architectural dividers, often featuring intricate botanical foliage, floral urns, and classical symbolism.

Authentic tapestries from this period were hand-loomed using a combination of natural wool and silk threads woven across a sturdy linen or wool warp. Dyes were derived from organic sources such as madder, woad, and weld, creating subtle colour variations that aged distinctively over time.

Genuine 17th-century textiles display hand-spun irregularities in the warp and weft, uneven back-stitching, and subtle colour oxidation. The reverse side often shows original vibrant dye tones protected from light exposure, and hand-sewn repairs or historical lining additions are typically present.

Vertical tapestry panels can be mounted inside sleek modern frames, hung to flank a tall doorway, or displayed within a narrow wall space to add historic texture against neutral paint schemes. Framing textiles protects the delicate fibers while creating a clear boundary between contemporary architecture and antique craftsmanship.

Keep historical tapestries out of direct sunlight and high-humidity areas to prevent fading and fiber degradation. Dust should be removed sparingly by placing a soft netting screen over the surface and using a low-suction vacuum, while structural conservation should only be handled by a professional textile specialist.
