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.

Hamadan carpets originate from one of the oldest rug-weaving districts in Persia, characterised by hand-knotted wool construction and traditional geometric or floral medallion designs woven on cotton or wool foundations.

These rugs are typically hand-knotted using local hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton warp and weft, utilising vegetable dyes to achieve deep terracotta, navy blue, and ivory tones.

Authentic pieces display a single-warp knotting technique, slight natural variations in dye saturation known as abrash, and wear patterns consistent with hand-woven natural fibres rather than machine uniformity.

The rich terracotta and dark field colours anchor contemporary or classic schemes, providing visual warmth and contrast when positioned under neutral furniture on timber flooring.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush, rotate periodically to ensure balanced wear, and utilise professional hand-washing services for deep cleaning to safeguard the natural dyes.
