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

Originating from Central Anatolia, Konya prayer rugs are distinguished by their bold geometric designs, vibrant vegetable dyes, and prominent central mihrab or prayer niche motif reflecting traditional Ottoman weaving customs.

Anatolian prayer rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and warp, coloured with natural plant dyes.

Authentic examples feature hand-tied knots visible on the underside, natural colour variations known as abrash, and traditional stepped mihrab arches bordered by geometric motifs.

An antique prayer rug can be displayed as a decorative wall hanging, placed as an accent piece in a quiet reading corner, or layered over neutral modern flooring to introduce texture and colour.

Preserve antique wool rugs by vacuuming gently without a rotating beater bar, rotating periodically to distribute wear, and consulting a specialist textile conservator for deep cleaning.
