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 carpets were woven by nomadic confederations in south-western Persia, renowned for geometric designs, triple pole medallions, and stylised bird or fauna motifs.

These rugs feature a hand-knotted wool pile on a wool warp and weft foundation, coloured with vegetable dyes to achieve deep red, indigo, and ivory tones.

Authentic pieces display minor asymmetrical irregularities in knotting, natural dye variations known as abrash, and a soft, flexible wool structure.

A hand-knotted tribal rug grounds contemporary spaces by introducing texture, historical depth, and geometric balance against timber or stone flooring.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush, rotate periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly, and clean using professional oriental rug conservators.
