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.

Karabagh rugs originate from the southern Caucasus region, an area long celebrated for its rich textile weaving traditions. The Chondoresk sub-group is particularly famed for incorporating distinctive dragon or S shaped cloudband motifs within large geometric medallions, influenced by historical Persian and Armenian artistic exchanges.

These carpets were traditionally hand-knotted by nomadic or village weavers using locally sourced, hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation. The vibrant palette was achieved using natural plant and insect dyes, resulting in rich reds, deep blacks, terracottas, and creams.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted wool construction with characteristic symmetrical or asymmetrical knots visible on the reverse side. They feature elongated kelleh proportions, subtle dye variations known as abrash, and prominent Octagonal central medallions enclosing stylized cloudband elements.

Long tribal runners serve as visual anchor points in corridors, wide entrance hallways, or open-plan living areas. They add texture and warmth when paired with contemporary minimalist furniture or placed alongside traditional dark wood antiques to create depth.

Vacuum the rug regularly using suction only to avoid damaging the fibres with a rotating brush bar. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean damp cloth, use a quality rug underlay to prevent wear, and arrange professional cleaning by a specialist textile restorer every few years.
