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

Qashqai textiles were created by pastoral nomadic tribes roaming the Fars province in southwestern Persia. Traditionally woven on portable ground looms, these items served practical equestrian and household functions while displaying tribal identity through unique geometric symbols and motifs.

These covers are typically hand-woven using locally sourced hand-spun sheeps wool for both warp and weft, sometimes utilizing cotton for flat-woven ground sections. They incorporate a combination of flatweave, soumak, or pile techniques, decorated with dyed wool yarn tassels and hand-embroidered figurative elements.

Authentic pieces exhibit variations in colour tone known as abrash, caused by hand-dyed wool batches using natural vegetable dyes. The weaving typically shows slight asymmetry from the use of temporary ground looms, along with traditional regional motifs such as stylised camels, birds, and geometric human figures.

These textiles function effectively as wall-mounted artwork, bringing colour and texture to large vertical spaces. They can also be draped over low seating, wooden benches, or display frames to add a tactile focal point in contemporary or eclectic rooms.

Keep wool textiles away from direct sunlight to prevent natural dye fading, and ensure the display environment is kept dry and free from moths. Cleaning should strictly be performed by professional textile conservators using low-moisture or dry cleaning methods.
