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.

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

A tambour needle is a specialised hooked tool used in tambour embroidery to work decorative chain stitches onto fabric stretched taut over a frame.

Handles were commonly crafted from dense hardwoods such as fruitwood or boxwood, decorative bone, or mother-of-pearl, often embellished with cut steel studs and fitted with brass thumb screws.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved or turned details, hand-set cut steel studs, patinated metal fittings, and light surface wear around the hand grip.

These small needlework implements are frequently displayed mounted in glazed shadowbox frames, placed on decorative trays, or arranged inside collector cabinets.

Keep the wooden handle in a dry, stable environment, clean carefully with a soft brush, and apply a light coating of microcrystalline wax to protect the steel studs from moisture and oxidisation.
