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

Victorian woolwork, often referred to as Berlin woolwork, became popular in the nineteenth century and involved stitching dyed wool yarns onto canvas backings. These pieces frequently featured flora, fauna, religious scenes, or exotic animals framed for decorative wall display.

Traditional needlework pictures were crafted using wool, silk, or cotton threads worked over a stiffened canvas ground. Frames were typically constructed from polished mahogany, rosewood, or stained pine, often fitted with protective front glass.

Authentic pieces display natural age-related fading to thread colours on the front compared to the back, irregularity in hand-stitched tension, and period-appropriate framing techniques such as paper backing tape or hand-cut square nails.

Framed textiles add textural depth to gallery walls, dark-painted study interiors, or modern minimalist spaces needing organic warm tones. Placing them above wood sideboards or console tables creates a balanced focal point.

Keep textile art out of direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation and colour fading. Ensure the piece is mounted using acid-free materials behind UV-filtering glass and maintained in a stable humidity environment.
