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

Flanders was the international centre of tapestry weaving during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Panels and decorative border fragments were traditionally hand-woven on looms and have long been repurposed into luxury soft furnishings, such as scatter cushions, to preserve historic textiles.

Authentic tapestry fragments are woven using wool and silk threads over a linen or wool warp. Repurposed cushions are typically backed with silk, velvet, or linen and trimmed with passamenterie fringe or braids.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun yarns with subtle variations in thickness, natural dye fading (such as softened greens and ochres), and hand-stitched relay seams on the reverse side of the weave.

Positioning a highly textured tapestry cushion on a plain linen sofa or a dark velvet armchair provides visual contrast, blending classical heritage patterns with modern interior schemes.

Keep the cushion away from direct sunlight to prevent further fading of organic dyes. Spot clean only through a specialist textile restorer and avoid placing the cushion in high-traffic seating areas.
