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

Ersari carpets are traditional hand-knotted textiles produced by the Ersari tribe, a major Turkmen group in Central Asia and Northern Afghanistan. They are characterized by deep crimson or warm red fields decorated with repeated octagonal geometric emblems known as guls.

Traditional Ersari carpets are constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the underlying foundation of warps and wefts. Organic plant-based dyes, such as madder root for red shades, are historically utilised to achieve rich colour palettes.

Authentic pieces feature a flexible wool foundation, hand-bound selvedges, and slight natural colour variations known as abrash. The field pattern typically displays rows of structured octagonal guls surrounded by geometric border motifs.

A red tribal carpet serves as a visual anchor in both classic and contemporary interiors. It pairs effectively with dark timber furniture, neutral linen upholstery, and natural leather accents to add texture and warmth.

Vacuum regularly on a gentle setting without a rotating brush bar to prevent fiber wear. Rotate the carpet periodically to ensure balanced light exposure, and blot liquid spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
