Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

Kurdish runner rugs from this period are hand-woven textiles created by tribal weavers in North West Persia and Kurdistan. They are distinguished by their long, narrow proportions, saturated vegetable dyes, heavy wool foundations, and bold geometric medallion motifs.

These rugs were constructed primarily using hand-spun local sheeps wool for both the pile and the warp/weft foundation. Dyes were derived from natural organic sources such as madder root, indigo, walnut husks, and pomegranate rinds.

Authenticity can be determined by examining the back of the rug for slight irregular hand-knotting, natural color abrash (slight color variations within the dye), wool-on-wool foundation construction, and characteristic tribal design elements such as geometric medallions and stylized animal figures.

An antique tribal runner provides structure and warmth in narrow spaces like corridors, entryways, or alongside a bed. It contrasts cleanly against modern polished concrete, hardwood, or stone flooring, adding historical depth to contemporary schemes.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush attachment to prevent pulling fibers. Rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear and light exposure, and rely exclusively on professional specialist rug cleaners for deep washing.
