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.

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

Developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, hand-crank sewing machines allowed domestic stitchers to sew fabric using a manual wheel mechanism mounted onto a wooden or cast iron base.

These machines typically feature heavy cast iron bodies painted with black enamel lacquer, frequently embellished with gilt transfers or mother-of-pearl inlay, and anchored to polished timber plinths.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast iron construction, intricate hand-applied gilt or shell ornamentation, original hand-crank mechanisms, and stamped serial or patent numbers near the base or needle bar.

Position the piece on a sideboard, desk, or bookshelf alongside leather-bound books and brass objects to add tactile history and industrial texture to a room scheme.

Clean the metalwork gently using a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners that strip delicate gilt transfers or shell, and apply clear beeswax to preserve the wooden plinth.
