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.

This large 18th-century hand-knotted wool Caucasian Kuba carpet is executed in a palette of olive green, terracotta, blue and yellow. The surface displays a repeating floral blossom motif, geometric palmettes, central field medallions, and serrated leaves, framed by ornamental patterned borders. Notable visible details include frayed fringes at both ends, a dense pile showing age-related wear, and richly varied dye shades across the field. The carpet measures 566 cm high and 220 cm wide. Suitable for grand interior spaces, this gallery-sized carpet works effectively as a significant floor covering in a principal hallway, living room, or study within a traditional residence. Placed directly on wooden floorboards, it anchors large furniture arrangements while adding historical texture and distinct regional motifs to the room.

FAQs

Originating from the Caucasus region, Kuba carpets from this period are distinguished by complex geometric patterns, stylized blossom motifs, and a dense hand-knotted structure.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and warp, coloured using organic vegetable and plant-based dyes.

Authentic examples feature specific structural characteristics such as wool foundations, asymmetrical knotting, natural colour variations known as abrash, and classical blossom or palmette motifs.

A large antique carpet anchors modern or traditional room layouts, providing texture and grounding colour palettes when placed beneath contemporary or classic furniture.

Vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, use a high-quality rug pad underneath to prevent friction wear, and consult a specialist restorer for professional cleaning.
