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.
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.
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.

French tapestry cushions are decorative soft furnishings created using wool or silk threads worked across a canvas grid to form detailed pictorial or floral patterns. Popularised from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, these textiles often feature classical motifs influenced by Aubusson and Gobelins manufactories.

Traditional tapestry cushions were crafted using natural wool strands or silk threads stitched onto a sturdy flax, hemp, or cotton canvas backing. Trimmings frequently incorporated woven passementerie, silk fringes, and wool tassel or pom-pom borders.

Authentic period needlepoint displays subtle irregularity in stitch tension and natural colour variation due to historical dye batches. Examining the reverse side often reveals hand-bound edges, original backing fabrics like linen or cotton velvet, and uneven thread knots.

An antique cushion provides tactile contrast when placed against modern neutral linen upholstery or structured leather armchairs. Pairing historical wool textiles with minimalist backdrops highlights the intricate craftsmanship without overwhelming the space.

Antique wool textiles should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and fiber deterioration. Vacuuming gently using a low-suction brush attachment through a mesh screen removes dust, while professional specialist dry cleaning is recommended for deep stains.
