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

Konya prayer rugs originate from Central Anatolia and are distinguished by their geometric prayer niches, stepped arches, and rich natural dye palettes including terracotta red, ochre yellow, and indigo blue.

19th-century Anatolian village rugs were typically hand-spun from local sheep wool for both the pile and the foundation, dyed using vegetable and mineral sources like madder root and indigo.

Authentic antique village rugs display slight asymmetrical variations in pattern, hand-bound selvedges, natural dye colour variations known as abrash, and a soft wool foundation typical of hand-loom construction.

Antique prayer rugs can be placed as focal accent rugs in entryways, draped over low wooden benches, or hung as wall tapestries to introduce rich colour and historic texture to modern schemes.

Antique wool rugs require gentle suction vacuuming without a rotating beater bar, immediate spot cleaning with cold water, and periodic professional cleaning by a specialist textile restorer.
