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

Bakhtiari carpets are traditional textiles woven by nomadic and village weavers in the Chahar Mahal region of Western Persia. They are renowned for their robust construction, structured compartment or repeating floral motifs, and strong colour contrast.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheeps wool for the pile, secured on a sturdy cotton warp and weft foundation. Natural plant and mineral dyes were historically employed to produce the characteristic reds, blues, and ivory tones.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical hand-bound knotting visible on the reverse, subtle abrash colour variations within the yarn, and classic regional design motifs rather than printed patterns.

A long runner provides visual warmth and texture in hallways, entryways, or narrow galley kitchens. The rich geometric patterns anchor neutral hardwood or stone flooring while complementing both period and contemporary architecture.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar to prevent fibre pull. Rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear and light exposure, and address spills immediately by blotting with cold water and clean cloth.
