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.

Sarab carpets originate from the Northwest Persian village of Serab, renowned for their long runner formats, camel hair or cream ground fields, and distinctive geometric diamond medallion motifs.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a wool or cotton warp foundation, featuring natural dyes for rich pigmentation.

Authentic pieces display natural colour variations known as abrash, symmetrical geometric diamond medallions, a durable weave, and slight structural irregularities characteristic of artisan handcrafting.

A geometric runner adds warmth and linear grounding to entry hallways, narrow corridors, or alongside kitchen islands, contrasting effectively with clean-lined contemporary flooring.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush bar, rotate periodically to ensure even foot-traffic wear, and use specialized professional rug cleaning for deep maintenance.
