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 tribal rugs are traditionally woven by nomad and semi-nomadic weavers, including Turkmen, Ersari, and Uzbek groups in northern Afghanistan. These carpets are distinguished by their geometric motifs, most notably repeated octagonal gul designs, which historically signified tribal identity.

Traditional Afghan carpets are constructed entirely from hand-spun sheeps wool, forming both the pile and the underlying warp and weft foundation. Dyes are historically derived from natural plant and mineral sources, producing deep reds, warm golds, ochres, and dark blue accents.

Authentic hand-knotted Afghan rugs feature slight variations in weave and design symmetry, visible knotting on the reverse side, and soft wool warps. Natural dye variations, known as abrash, create subtle horizontal colour shifts throughout the pile.

Designers often use warm gold and ochre Afghan rugs to ground neutral rooms, pairing them with dark leather, mid-century timber furniture, or contemporary neutral sofas. The strong geometric motifs provide visual structure without overwhelming modern minimalist or eclectic interiors.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush bar to protect the wool pile. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth and mild wool detergent, and have the rug professionally hand-washed periodically.
