Archival Detail
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 originate from a tribal confederation in Fars province, south-western Persia. They are characterised by hand-knotted wool construction, dense geometric motifs, stylised animal figures, and repeating boteh patterns set against dark navy or terracotta fields.

These carpets are constructed using locally sourced, hand-spun wool for the pile, often knotted onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. Dyes were historically derived from natural plant and mineral sources, producing saturated reds, blues, and ivory tones.

Authentic pieces exhibit a slightly flexible handle, irregular geometric hand-knotted structure, and specific motif arrangements such as the chicken or boteh variations favored by the Arab Ghani weavers, alongside multi-banded geometric borders.

A large tribal carpet functions as an anchor in living areas, dining rooms, or large hallways. The rich navy and terracotta palette complements natural timber furniture, leather upholstery, and neutral modern decor.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush to prevent fiber damage. Position a quality rug pad underneath to reduce friction, rotate annually to balance foot traffic wear, and seek professional specialist cleaning for stains.
