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 Kelleh rug is a specific format of traditional Persian carpet characterised by a long, wide runner shape, historically designed to sit at the head or side of a central room setting in nomadic and village homes.

Tribal rugs from South Persia are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and the warp/weft foundation, coloured with vegetable and mineral dyes.

Authentic antique tribal pieces show natural colour variations known as abrash, flexible hand-knotted foundations, slight asymmetry in woven patterns, and hand-wrapped selvedges rather than machine stitching.

Place a long tribal rug along central hallways, wide landings, or underneath a long dining table to ground the room with texture, historical pattern, and rich colour contrast against natural wood flooring.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush bar, rotate the rug annually to balance foot traffic and light exposure, and rely on professional specialist wool cleaning for stain removal.
