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

Turkmen rugs are traditional hand-woven textiles produced by nomadic tribes across Central Asia, characteristically featuring repeating geometric motifs, diamond lattice structures, and a rich palette dominated by terracotta, deep red, and earth tones.

These textiles are hand-woven using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation threads, coloured using natural plant and mineral dye extracts.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display subtle natural colour variations known as abrash, flexible hand-spun wool backings, minor design asymmetries indicative of hand weaving, and hand-finished edge bindings.

A geometric tribal rug anchors contemporary or classic living spaces by introducing textural contrast, grounding minimalist schemes, and complementing natural timber or stone flooring.

Vacuum gently without using a rotating brush bar, rotate the rug periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly, absorb liquid spills immediately with a clean dry cloth, and seek specialist professional cleaning when required.
