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 Turkmen carpets are hand-woven textiles created by nomadic Ersari tribes in Central Asia, characterised by repeating octagonal gol motifs and a rich palette dominated by terracotta red and navy blue hues.

These carpets were constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation, coloured using natural plant and insect dyes such as madder root and indigo.

Authentic pieces feature dense hand-knotted wool construction, subtle colour variations known as abrash from batch-dyed wool, geometric repeating gol patterns, and characteristic multi-banded borders.

A traditional tribal carpet serves as a grounding element in an interior scheme, pairing naturally with neutral upholstery, dark wood furniture, modern minimalist leather, or brass accent pieces.

Maintenance requires regular light vacuuming without a rotary brush attachment, periodic rotation to balance foot traffic wear, immediate blotting of spills, and professional specialist cleaning when necessary.
