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

An antique embroidered sampler is a piece of hand-stitched needlework produced as a demonstration or practice of stitching technique, historically created by schoolgirls as part of their education during the 18th and 19th centuries.

They were typically worked on woven linen, cotton, or wool tarlatan grounds using silk or wool threads, using techniques such as cross stitch and satin stitch.

Authentic pieces usually feature hand-stitched alphabet rows, numbers, moral or religious verses, names, dates, and natural age-related toning on the natural fabric backing.

Displaying samplers as a pair or small gallery hanging in a hallway, study, or narrow wall space provides historic texture and craftsmanship to classic or eclectic room schemes.

Preserve antique textiles by mounting them with acid-free materials behind UV-filtering glass, hanging them away from direct sunlight and avoiding damp or humid environments.
