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.

Bakhtiar rugs originate from the Bakhtiari region in the Zagros Mountains of Iran, historically hand-woven by nomadic tribes and settled village artisans. They are renowned for traditional garden motifs, geometric panels, and durable knotting techniques.

These carpets are constructed using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a thick cotton or wool foundation. Natural plant-based and mineral dyes were traditionally used to create the vibrant reds, blues, creams, and terracotta shades.

Authentic pieces feature heavy wool construction, a dense weave, and clear reverse pattern visibility due to hand-tied knots. Common design indicators include lattice grid layouts, cypress tree motifs, and multi-band patterned borders.

A Bakhtiar rug serves as a central structural anchor in living rooms, dining spaces, or hallways. It can be paired with neutral contemporary seating or minimalist wooden furniture to highlight the detailed geometric patterns.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling the wool pile fibers. Rotate the rug annually to balance foot traffic and light exposure, and rely on professional rug specialists for cleaning.
