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

Sewing clamps, also known as hemming clamps, were table-mounted devices designed to hold fabric taut, allowing needleworkers to stitch seams or hem material efficiently during the nineteenth century.

These tools were commonly forged from wrought iron, steel, or brass, and often featured integrated fabric pincushions filled with emery or wool, along with screw-thread table fixings.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-cut screw threads, patinated cast or forged metals, original velvet or wool cushion covers showing historical wear, and functional spring mechanisms.

These compact functional objects make distinctive decorative accents when clamped to open wooden shelving, displayed on a desk in a study, or integrated into a haberdashery-themed shadow box display.

Dust the metalwork gently with a soft brush, apply a light coat of microcrystalline wax to protect against oxidisation, and avoid exposing the delicate original fabric cushion to moisture or direct sunlight.
