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.

Ushak carpets originate from the town of Usak in Western Anatolia, Turkey, a major centre of carpet production since the Ottoman era. They are historically recognised for their larger-scale floral designs and soft, luminous wool.

Authentic antique Ushak carpets are woven with hand-spun wool yarn on a wool or cotton foundation. The dyes are derived from natural vegetable sources, yielding soft tones of terracotta, ochre, soft grey, and cream.

Identification features include a comparatively loose knot density using the Ghiordes double knot, a soft and silky pile texture, and open, relaxed botanical motifs rather than tightly structured geometric patterns.

The muted colour palettes of Ushak carpets make them versatile anchor pieces in contemporary or traditional interiors. They pair well with neutral upholstery, dark mahogany or oak furniture, and minimalist architectural backgrounds.

Vacuum gently without using a motorized beater bar to avoid pulling fibers. Rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear and light exposure, and rely on professional hand-washing specialists for deep cleaning.
