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 tribal textiles woven by the Ersari Turkmen tribe, typically characterised by distinctive gushguli or gul motifs, rich madder-red grounds, and wool construction.

These pieces are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun sheeps wool for the pile, warp, and weft, with natural plant dyes such as madder providing the distinctive red colour palette.

Authenticity is determined by examining the irregularity of hand-spun wool, natural dye variations across the pile, structural knot density, and traditional tribal border motifs consistent with the period.

Such a large-scale floor covering acts as a grounding anchor in a room, pairing effectively with neutral furnishings, contemporary upholstery, or classic wood flooring to highlight its historic patterns.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional washing by a textile conservator when needed, and keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading.
