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

Afghan village prayer rugs are hand-knotted textiles traditionally created by nomadic or village weavers in Central Asia, featuring an arch or mihrab pattern that designates the directional orientation for prayer.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the warp and pile, coloured with plant-based and mineral dyes to achieve deep terracotta, brown, blue, and yellow shades.

Authentic 1920s pieces exhibit natural dye variations known as abrash, asymmetric hand-knotted construction, and hand-finished selvedges rather than uniform synthetic thread or machine bindings.

A small tribal rug can be layered over neutral flatweave floor coverings to add texture, or mounted as a textile wall hanging to serve as a geometric focal point.

Vacuum without using a rotating brush bar to avoid pulling fibres, rotate the textile periodically to balance light exposure, and blot liquid spills immediately with a dry cloth.
