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

North-West Persian runners typically feature geometric diamond medallions, stylized floral motifs, and a harmonious palette of reds, blues, and neutrals, reflecting the weaving traditions of nomadic and village workshops in the region.

These pieces are traditionally hand-knotted with a wool pile on a cotton or wool foundation, utilising natural vegetable dyes that impart rich, enduring colour tones.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregularity of hand-knotted pile, variations in natural dye lots known as abrash, hand-finished fringes, and the suppleness of the foundation.

An antique runner adds texture and heritage to modern hallways, kitchens, or transitional spaces, grounding contemporary minimalist furniture with warmth and historical contrast.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and the use of a breathable underlay to prevent slippage and wear.
