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 and Timuri carpets are hand-woven textiles produced by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in the borderlands of Persia and Afghanistan. These carpets are distinguished by dark, saturated colour palettes, dense wool pile, and geometric or stylized floral iconography.

They are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation. Dyes were historically extracted from natural plant and mineral sources, creating rich dark red, deep navy indigo, and warm earthy brown hues.

Authentic turn-of-the-century pieces feature soft wool, subtle dye variations known as abrash, and a flexible handle. They display geometric repeat designs, mihrab motifs, or tree patterns, often finished with flat-woven kilim ends.

A dark tribal carpet serves as a grounding focal point in contemporary or traditional interiors, pairing well with natural wood furniture and leather seating. The complex geometric patterns add texture and visual depth without overpowering surrounding decor.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting to avoid pulling the wool pile fibres. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean cloth, and professional cleaning by an antique textile specialist is recommended every few years.
