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

A Mahdad Khani Baluch rug is a hand-knotted tribal textile woven by Baluch nomadic weavers, distinguished by dark, saturated colour palettes and complex repeating geometric patterns.

These rugs are hand-woven using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and warp, using natural plant and mineral dyes to achieve rich indigo and dark red tones.

Authentic examples feature a soft woollen pile, dark earthy tones such as deep red and navy, flexible wool foundations, and geometric box or repeating medallion field patterns.

Position the rug on top of neutral wooden or stone flooring to allow its deep hues and geometric motifs to act as a grounding focal point in a contemporary or traditional room.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush, rotate the carpet periodically to ensure even wear, and employ a specialist rug restorer for deep cleaning.
