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

Milas rugs originate from the southwestern Anatolia region of Turkey, recognized for their distinctive geometric prayer niche (mihrab) designs and warm natural colour palettes.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and warp, coloured with natural vegetable dyes derived from plants and roots.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical hand-bound knots, subtle colour variations known as abrash, flexible woolen foundations, and traditional stylized motifs including the central mihrab arch.

An antique Anatolian rug functions as a grounded focal point in minimalist or contemporary spaces, adding warmth, historical contrast, and rich surface texture.

Vacuum regularly on a low setting without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically to balance wear, and clean spills immediately with cold water and a gentle wool detergent.
