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

A Caucasian prayer rug is a hand-knotted wool textile originating from the Caucasus region, characterised by bold geometric motifs and an arched niche design known as a mihrab.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, coloured with dyes derived from natural plant and mineral sources.

Authentic pieces feature geometric tribal iconography, subtle colour variations known as abrash, a flexible all-wool structure, and hand-tied knots clearly visible on the reverse.

A small Caucasian rug works well as an accent piece in an entryway, alongside side furniture, placed near a fireplace hearth, or mounted on a wall as a decorative textile.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush bar, rotate periodically to balance light exposure and wear, and utilize professional specialist rug cleaning when required.
