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.

Pirot Sarkoy kilims are traditional flatwoven wool textiles produced in the Balkan region, historically associated with the town of Pirot. They are distinguished by their double-sided tapestry weave and geometric motifs.

These flatweaves are crafted using hand-spun wool dyed with natural or early synthetic colorants, employing a slit-weave tapestry technique that creates distinct geometric outlines and renders the textile reversible.

Authentic pieces exhibit tight weave density, precise geometric iconography such as diamond medallions or stylized border motifs, and a wool warp and weft construction without a raised pile.

A flatweave kilim acts as a focal point on hardwood or stone flooring, complementing contemporary minimalist furniture or pairing with traditional timber pieces.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush bar, rotate periodically to ensure even wear, and address spills immediately using a damp cloth with mild wool detergent.
