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

18th century French silk textiles, particularly those produced in Lyon, are characterised by intricate floral brocades, detailed botanical patterns, and complex hand-loomed weaves reflecting Rococo and Neoclassical design movements.

These items were crafted from hand-loomed silk brocade or damask fabrics and finished with period passementerie trimmings, such as hand-woven fringes, braids, or tassels attached along the outer seams.

Authentic period silk exhibits subtle hand-weaving irregularities, natural dye tones, hand-stitched seams, and age-appropriate textile wear or minor oxidation along thread lines.

An antique silk cushion serves as a textured accent piece when positioned on a contemporary neutral sofa, an armchair, or integrated into layered bedding schemes.

Keep silk textiles away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, avoid liquid exposure, and clean by gentle surface dusting or through a specialist textile conservator.
