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.

This 1880 antique Caucasian Seychour runner rug displays a long hand-knotted wool construction with a deep navy blue field. Rich red and coral geometric cross motifs combine with intricate floral elements across the centre, enclosed by a patterned multi-band red border. Soft natural dyes create a velvety pile that shows visible abrasion in several areas, giving a sense of depth and movement across the surface. The rug measures 274 cm high and 107 cm wide. Suitable for use in an English Country House interior scheme, this narrow runner rug functions effectively placed along a hallway, gallery space, or beside a large bed. The traditional geometric motifs and deep colour palette integrate well into traditional and eclectic living spaces as a decorative floor covering. Regular placement on a flat surface preserves the woven wool structure while adding warmth and pattern to a room.

FAQs

Seychour rugs originate from the North Caucasus region, renowned for precise hand-knotting, vibrant natural dyes, and iconic motifs such as the St Andrews cross and stylized floral forms.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using locally sourced wool for both the pile and foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes to create durable, dense floor coverings.

Authentic examples feature asymmetric hand-knotted construction, flexible wool foundations, natural dye abrash variations, and distinct geometric motifs characteristic of the Kuba district.

A vibrant geometric runner introduces warmth, texture, and historical contrast when positioned in neutral hallways, entryways, or alongside modern wood furniture.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush bar, rotate annually to ensure even wear, and address spills immediately by blotting with cold water and a clean cloth.
