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

Baluch prayer rugs were hand-knotted by nomadic tribes in the border regions of Persia and Afghanistan, typically featuring a niche arch or mihrab motif along with dark, earthy tones.

These rugs are traditionally constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and warp, often incorporating camel hair for natural tan grounds and goatskin or goat hair edging.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural dyes, a soft depressed weave, dark brown or indigo palettes, and traditional motifs such as stylised tree-of-life patterns within the central field.

A tribal prayer rug serves as an ideal accent layer over neutral wool carpeting, beneath a side table, or hung as a wall textile to introduce texture and historical character.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush bar, rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear, and address spills immediately by blotting with a damp cloth rather than rubbing.
