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

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

Cuenca carpets originate from the town of Cuenca in central Spain, renowned since the 16th century for producing hand-woven wool textiles featuring distinctive Renaissance and Baroque foliate patterns.

Traditional Spanish Cuenca carpets were hand-knotted using locally sourced wool yarn on a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic Cuenca carpets typically exhibit Spanish knotting techniques, hand-spun wool textures, natural colour variations, and specific floral or palmette motifs framed by detailed scrollwork borders.

Position a Spanish carpet as a central focal point on neutral hardwood or stone floors to complement both contemporary minimalist furniture and classic antique timber pieces.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush bar, rotate regularly to ensure even wear, and consult a professional textile conservator for spot cleaning or deep restoration.
