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

Originating from the Talysh region in the South Caucasus, Talish rugs are recognised by their distinct elongated proportions, central undecorated or minimalist fields, and wide multi-banded geometric borders incorporating rosettes and repeating star motifs.

These textiles were hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, coloured with natural vegetable and mineral dyes such as indigo and madder root.

Authentic 19th-century Talish pieces are identified by their long, narrow format, high density of symmetrical knots, natural dye abrash variations, and characteristic outer borders featuring recurring floral rosettes.

A long Caucasian rug provides structural framing and contrast when positioned along entry hallways, corridors, or alongside minimalist contemporary furniture to introduce graphic symmetry and warmth.

Maintenance requires regular low-suction vacuuming without a rotating brush, periodic rotation to balance foot traffic wear, and the use of a firm underlay to protect the hand-knotted structure.
