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

Bakhtiari carpets are hand-knotted textiles created by nomadic and village weavers in the Bakhtiari region of West-Central Iran, recognized for their robust construction, thick wool pile, and geometric panel or medallion designs.

These carpets are crafted using hand-spun wool for the pile, knotted onto a durable cotton or wool warp and weft foundation, and coloured using plant-derived dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-tied symmetrical knots, minor variations in dye tone known as abrash, geometric diamond or garden motif panels, and heavy, thick wool construction.

Position the carpet as a central grounding element in a living space or dining room, pairing its rich red and navy tones against neutral timber flooring or stone surfaces.

Vacuum gently in the direction of the pile without using a rotating brush, rotate the piece annually to balance wear from foot traffic, and treat spills immediately with cool water and neutral soap.
