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

Baluch prayer rugs are hand-woven tribal textiles created by nomadic or semi-nomadic Baluch tribes near the borders of Afghanistan and Iran. They typically feature an arched mihrab motif alongside geometric, zoomorphic, and floral tribal patterns.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool on a wool foundation, often incorporating natural dyes to achieve earthy tones such as cream, madder red, indigo, and deep brown.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted structural variations, soft wool foundations, dark selvedge edges, and characteristic design motifs including stylized hand shapes, camels, and geometric borders.

A small tribal rug can be layered over neutral timber or flagstone flooring, placed in an entryway, or mounted on a wall as a decorative textile hanging.

Vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, blot liquid spills immediately with an absorbent dry cloth, and employ specialist rug cleaners for deep stain removal and washing.
