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 tapestries originate from the towns of Aubusson and Felletin in central France, renowned since the sixteenth century for producing fine flat-woven textiles featuring intricate floral, pastoral, and architectural motifs.

Traditional French tapestries are woven primarily using natural wool and silk fibres on a loom, utilising a flat-weave technique to create detailed patterns and subtle colour gradations.

Authentic pieces exhibit flat-weave construction, natural dye variations, finely detailed border motifs, and visible reverse-side weave structure rather than printed or machine-loomed backing.

A large tapestry can be mounted as a focal piece above a sideboard or on an expansive wall, introducing texture, warmth, and traditional pattern to modern or neutral schemes.

Preserve tapestries by mounting them away from direct sunlight, vacuuming gently with a low-suction brush attachment, and seeking professional textile conservators for deep cleaning.
