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

Historically created to demonstrate skill in stitching techniques and patterns, 18th-century samplers evolved from simple reference strips into complex decorative textile panels featuring pictorial scenes, figures, and alphabets.

Antique needlework samplers were typically executed using silk or wool threads hand-stitched onto linen, canvas, or wool scrim foundations, framed in moulded timber mounts.

Authentic pieces show signs of age such as natural thread oxidisation, subtle fading on exposed areas, irregularities in hand-spun fibres, and historical mounting method evidence on the reverse.

Position framed textile artwork as a focal point within a gallery wall or display it above a console table alongside ceramic vessels to complement period and contemporary schemes.

Keep needlework out of direct sunlight to prevent UV fading, maintain stable ambient humidity levels to protect organic fibres, and glaze with UV-filtering glass when framing.
