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

Afghan runner rugs from this era are characteristically hand-knotted by nomadic weavers, featuring long, narrow proportions suitable for corridors. They typically display bold geometric patterns, diamond-shaped medallions, and a colour palette dominated by rich reds, deep blues, and ivory tones.

Traditional Afghan rugs are constructed using hand-spun wool for the pile, knotted onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. Natural vegetable dyes were historically employed to colour the yarn prior to manual knotting on vertical or horizontal looms.

Authentic tribal pieces exhibit slight irregularities in pattern and weave tension due to manual crafting. Examining the underside reveals clearly visible knots matching the surface pattern, flexible construction without rigid synthetic backings, and subtle colour variations known as abrash.

Interior designers frequently position geometric tribal runners in long entrance hallways, narrow galley kitchens, or along landing walkways. The rich red and navy tones provide visual grounding and tactile contrast against neutral timber flooring or stone tiles.

Regular maintenance involves suction-only vacuuming without a rotating brush bar to prevent fibre disturbance. Spots should be blotted immediately with clean water, while deep cleaning requires specialized hand-washing by a professional rug conservator.
