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.

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

Pirot and Sarkoy kilims are traditional flatweave rugs originating from the Balkan region, recognised for their slit-weave technique, geometric patterns, and structured horizontal bands.

These kilims are hand-woven using pure wool for both the warp and weft, historically dyed with natural vegetable-based dyes to ensure lasting colour saturation.

Authentic kilims feature a completely flat, pileless weave with distinct vertical slits between colour transitions, reversible geometric patterns, and subtle dye variations known as abrash.

A large red kilim acts as an anchoring element in neutral rooms, pairing effectively with dark timber furniture, leather upholstery, or contemporary minimalist decor to introduce pattern and warmth.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush bar, rotate the rug regularly to distribute foot traffic, and treat spills immediately by blotting with a damp cloth and neutral wool cleaner.
