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.

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 and Timuri rugs are tribal textiles traditionally woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic groups across Western Afghanistan and Eastern Persia, characterised by intricate geometric motifs and rich natural dyes.

Traditionally woven on portable horizontal looms, these rugs feature a hand-knotted wool pile constructed on a wool foundation, using hand-spun yarns dyed with organic vegetable and mineral sources.

Authentic 19th-century examples display soft hand-spun wool, subtle abrash colour variations from natural dye batches, fine geometric latch-hook patterns, and saturated, dark-toned palettes.

The geometric repeating patterns and warm terracotta tones provide grounding visual contrast when placed on light wooden floorboards in contemporary or eclectic living spaces.

Vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug periodically to ensure even surface wear, address liquid spills immediately with a damp cloth, and consult a professional restorer for deep cleaning.
