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.
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.
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.

Originating from the Caucasus region, Gendje rugs are traditional hand-knotted textiles characterised by bold geometric motifs, rich primary colours, and a central mihrab or prayer arch design.

These rugs are typically hand-woven using natural hand-spun wool for both the pile and the warp and weft, often coloured using organic vegetable dyes.

Authentic Caucasian rugs feature hand-bound selvedges, slight symmetry irregularities inherent to tribal weaving, natural colour variation known as abrash, and a wool foundation.

A small Caucasian rug works well placed in a hallway or entryway, or layered over neutral natural-fibre carpeting to introduce geometric pattern and warm tones into contemporary spaces.

Vacuum gently without a rotating suction brush, rotate periodically to ensure balanced wear, and address spills immediately by blotting with a clean damp cloth.
