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

Mahal carpets originate from the Arak region in central Persia, woven during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They are recognised for their large-scale floral patterns, softer weave, and rich vegetable-dyed colour palettes.

These carpets feature hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton foundation using traditional symmetrical or asymmetrical knotting techniques. Natural dyes derived from plants and minerals provide the varied, muted colour tones.

Authentic examples display abrash, which is natural colour variation within the dyed yarn, along with a flexible hand-knotted backing. The reverse side reveals distinct hand-knotted stitching rather than rigid machine backing.

An antique Mahal carpet anchors a room by introducing intricate pattern and warmth beneath neutral contemporary furniture. Placing it in living areas or dining rooms creates visual contrast against modern clean lines, hardwood flooring, or stone tiles.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to protect the wool pile. Rotate the carpet annually to distribute foot traffic evenly, and arrange professional hand-washing by a specialist restorer when required.
