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.

Afshar Neriz rugs are tribal carpets woven by the Afshar people around the Kerman region of south-east Persia. They are recognized for their geometric patterns, diamond medallions, and repeat motifs like the boteh, reflecting a blend of nomadic traditions and urban design influences.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for the pile, secured onto a foundation of wool or cotton warp and weft yarns. The yarn is traditionally coloured with natural vegetable dyes, resulting in varied chromatic tones.

Authentic pieces show natural colour variations known as abrash, slight asymmetry in the hand-knotted weave, and a clear reverse pattern visible on the back of the rug where knots are exposed.

A geometric tribal rug introduces visual grounding and contrast beneath contemporary furniture. It functions well on neutral wooden floorboards in both contemporary living areas and classic study spaces.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting without a rotary brush to protect the pile. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and use an underlay pad.
