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

Anatolian prayer rugs, crafted in weaving centres such as Ladik and Melas, feature a central arched niche known as a mihrab. These late 19th-century textiles are characterised by complex geometric borders, stylised floral motifs, and natural dye palettes.

Traditional Anatolian rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and warp/weft foundation. Natural dyes derived from local plants and minerals produce the characteristic colour variations throughout the weave.

Authentic period pieces display distinct hand-knotted construction visible on the reverse side, along with subtle colour shifts known as abrash. Specific regional border designs and the structural shape of the central mihrab arch indicate geographical origin.

Smaller prayer rugs function well as accent pieces in entryways, hallways, or reading nooks, and can also be wall-mounted as decorative textile art. The rich geometric patterns and warm tones complement neutral, contemporary, or traditional decor schemes.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating motorised brush removes surface debris while preserving the wool pile. Prompt spot cleaning using cold water and mild detergent, alongside occasional professional rug cleaning, prevents fibre degradation.
