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

Needlepoint tapestry art from the 19th century involves hand-stitching dyed wool or silk threads onto a woven canvas grid to create pictorial scenes, frequently depicting historical narratives, genre subjects, or classical figures.

These pieces were typically worked in coloured wool or silk yarns upon a heavy canvas backing, subsequently mounted within carved wooden, mahogany, or giltwood mouldings.

Authentic period needlepoint exhibits minor variations in hand-stitch tension, natural dye fading on the front relative to the reverse, and period construction methods such as hand-cut backing boards or timber stretchers.

Positioning framed textile art above a console table or mantelpiece creates a textured focal point, contrasting historical craftsmanship against modern wall finishes and minimal furniture.

Position needlepoint away from direct light source and moisture to prevent fibre breakdown and discolouration, cleaning the glass or outer frame gently with a dry microfibre cloth without chemical cleaners.
