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

A Baluch prayer rug is a hand-knotted textile crafted by nomadic Baluch tribes across eastern Persia and western Afghanistan, defined by its directional arched motif known as a mihrab and a dark, rich colour palette.

These textiles are typically hand-woven using soft wool or natural camel hair for the pile, bound onto a wool warp and weft foundation dyed with natural plant and mineral pigments.

Authentic period rugs feature hand-spun yarn, natural dyes that exhibit subtle colour variation or abrash, fine flat-woven kilim ends, and highly detailed geometric tribal symbolism.

A small tribal prayer rug serves effectively as a focal piece in an entryway, draped over a bench, or layered over a larger neutral woven carpet to add texture and historical depth.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment, clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth without rubbing, and place a quality underlay beneath to prevent fibre wear.
