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

During the 18th century, liturgical textiles were crafted using high-grade materials such as silk velvet, real gold thread, and metallic bullion fringe to adorn religious garments and altars. These hand-stitched fragments reflect the skilled artisan techniques and decorative motifs of European church history.

Historical metallic embroidery utilized silk or linen core threads wrapped in thin metal strips of gold, silver, or gilt copper. These were combined with rich backing fabrics such as velvet, damask, or silk satin, along with metallic lace trims and bullion tassel fringing.

Authentic period textiles display hand-stitched mounting, uneven thread gauges, natural dye variations, and characteristic oxidisation or tarnish on metallic threads over time. Inspecting the weave structure under magnification also reveals period-accurate hand-looming.

Framed textile fragments function as tactile wall art, adding depth and narrative to modern or traditional interiors. Position them within gallery walls, narrow hallway spaces, or above sideboards alongside classic ceramics and dark wood furniture.

Framed textiles require mounting on acid-free boards behind UV-filtering glass to prevent fading and deterioration. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity level, and keep the frame positioned away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
