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

Malayer rugs originate from the Malayer region in northwestern Iran, produced primarily by individual weavers in home workshops rather than commercial factories. They are characterized by unique, geometric or floral designs, high-quality wool, and a diverse range of soft, natural dye palettes.

These rugs are woven using hand-spun wool pile constructed onto a strong cotton or wool foundation warp and weft, utilising vegetable dyes derived from plants and minerals.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted asymmetry on the underside, natural colour variations from vegetable dyes known as abrash, soft flexible backing without plastic coatings, and wool fibres rather than synthetic materials.

A Persian rug with a cream ground acts as an anchor for both minimal and traditional spaces, pairing effectively with contemporary upholstery, timber floorboards, and clean-lined architectural details to add textural warmth.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush, rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear, use a dedicated rug pad underneath, and consult professional specialist rug cleaners for deep spot-cleaning.
