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.

Fereghan Ziegler carpets were commissioned in Persia during the late 19th century by the Anglo-Swiss firm Ziegler & Co., specifically designed for Western interiors with softer colour palettes and larger scale floral motifs.

These carpets are hand-knotted using high-quality hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton foundation, coloured using natural vegetable dyes such as indigo, madder root, and larkspur.

Authentic 19th-century examples display soft colour variations known as abrash, asymmetrical hand-knotted construction, supple backs, and subtle wear consistent with age rather than uniform machine production.

The muted tones and grand floral lattice patterns allow these carpets to ground traditional drawing rooms, anchor modern minimalist furniture, or layer beneath polished dark wood dining settings.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush, rotate annually to ensure even wear and light exposure, and rely on professional hand-washing specialists for deep cleaning.
