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

Originating from Epirus in north-western Greece, this style of embroidery is renowned for its intricate floral motifs, stylised botanical forms, and Ottoman cultural influence, frequently executed on hand-woven linen panels.

These textiles were typically hand-stitched on a hand-loomed linen or cotton base using coloured silk threads, often incorporating metal-wrapped threads like gilded silver to highlight decorative motifs.

Authentic examples display uneven hand-spun ground fabrics, specific stitch techniques such as couching and darning stitch, natural vegetable dyes showing age-related softening, and hand-worked finished edges.

Mounting and framing the textile behind UV-protective glass allows it to function as textural wall art, adding historical interest to a gallery wall, narrow hallway, or above a console table.

Keep historic textiles away from direct sunlight and high humidity, mount them using acid-free materials, and avoid washing or chemical treatments to prevent fibre breakdown and dye migration.
