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

Originating from the Bessarabia region in Eastern Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these flatweave carpets combine traditional Ottoman weaving techniques with European floral motifs influenced by French tapestry designs.

These rugs are handwoven using natural wool yarns on a slit-weave tapestry loom, creating a flat, pileless surface with clean colour separations between motifs.

Authentic pieces feature hand-spun wool, natural dye variations, a flat slit-weave construction without pile, and repeating floral sprays or bold geometric borders typical of Eastern European textile production.

Place the flatweave carpet over neutral wooden or stone flooring to anchor a living space, layer it beneath clean-lined furniture, or pair it with traditional mahogany pieces to add subtle pattern.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment without a beater bar, place an underlay underneath to prevent slippage and wear, and consult a professional rug restorer for specialised cleaning.
