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

Bell pulls were decorative textile sashes connected to an internal mechanical wire system used in 18th and 19th-century residences to summon household staff from domestic quarters.

These items were typically crafted using silk linings, hand-stitched wool or silk embroidery, micro glass seed beads, and cast brass hardware terminals or lower rings.

Authentic period examples display hand-stitched needlework, visible age-related patination on the brass mountings, authentic wear to the textile backing, and hand-assembled fittings rather than modern machine stitching.

Interior designers often suspend these pieces vertically on narrow wall sections, beside fireplace alcoves, or integrated within a gallery wall to introduce historic texture.

Textiles of this period should be displayed away from direct sunlight and high humidity, dusted lightly with a soft brush, and mounted securely to avoid tension on aging fibres.
