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 Western Anatolia, Ghiordes prayer rugs are distinguished by their central pointed arch niche, known as a mihrab, surrounded by multiple detailed floral borders and architectural motifs.

These carpets were hand-knotted using wool pile on a cotton or wool foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes derived from plants, roots, and minerals.

Authentic pieces feature symmetrical Turkish double knots, complex multi-band borders with floral or palmette patterns, a distinct architectural mihrab, and natural dye colour variations.

An antique prayer rug can be displayed as a framed wall textile or placed in low-traffic areas such as study rooms or bedrooms to add texture and historical character.

Preservation requires regular vacuuming without a rotating brush, keeping the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and consulting a specialist textile restorer for cleaning.
