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

In the 18th century, needlework samplers served as practical demonstration panels for individuals to practise stitching techniques, alphabets, and decorative pictorial motifs.

They were typically worked using wool or silk threads upon woven linen backings, later mounted and set into moulded timber frames for wall display.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-spun linen grounds with irregular weaves, characteristic age-related tone variations in natural dyes, and historical frame joinery.

Position the framed sampler above a console table or integrate it into a gallery wall display alongside contemporary drawings to create visual contrast.

Display the textile away from direct sunlight, utilise UV-protective glass, and maintain low ambient humidity to prevent organic fibre degradation over time.
