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.

Khamseh rugs originate from a confederation of nomadic tribes in South West Persia. They are characterised by dense, highly detailed geometric patterns, recurring diamond medallions, and stylised animal or bird motifs throughout the field.

Traditional Khamseh rugs feature a full wool pile knotted onto a wool or cotton foundation. The wool was historically hand-spun and dyed using natural plant and mineral dyes, resulting in deep indigo, terracotta, and ivory tones.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted asymmetric construction with slight irregularities typical of nomadic looms. Key design indicators include multiple geometric borders, dense bird or figure filler motifs, and a central field containing repeating diamond medallions.

A tribal rug adds visual structure and warmth to timber flooring or polished concrete. It functions as a foundational element beneath seating arrangements or as a central focus point in neutral interior schemes.

Regular care requires gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush attachment to protect the pile fibers. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean dry cloth, and professional cleaning by a specialist textile restorer is recommended periodically.
