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

Bakhtiar rugs are traditional hand-knotted textiles originating from the Zagros Mountains region in Iran, crafted by Bakhtiari tribal weavers. They are historical floor coverings recognized for geometric diamond medallions, garden panel motifs, and robust, heavy-textured weave structures.

These rugs are crafted with a thick hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation. Natural vegetable and mineral dyes were traditionally used to colour the lanolin-rich wool yarns prior to knotting.

Authentic pieces feature hand-knotted symmetrical knots visible on the reverse side, slight organic variations in pattern alignment, and a dense, heavy handle. Design characteristics include bold central diamond medallions or compartmentalised floral motifs with multi-layered borders.

A Bakhtiar rug functions as a foundational textile to anchor living areas, dining spaces, or entrance halls. The geometric tribal patterns provide colour contrast and texture when paired with modern timber flooring and streamlined neutral furniture.

Maintenance requires regular vacuuming using a suction-only nozzle to prevent fibre damage from rotary brushes. Periodic rotation balances surface wear and sunlight exposure, while specialist cleaning is recommended for deep dirt removal.
