Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

Karadja rugs originate from the village of Karadja in Northwest Persia, near the Heriz weaving region. Influenced by both Persian and Caucasian design traditions, these textiles are recognized for their distinct geometric patterns, tribal character, and durable construction.

Karadja carpets are hand-knotted using a hand-spun wool pile tied onto a strong cotton or wool warp and weft foundation. Natural vegetable dyes were historically employed to produce deep shades of red, navy blue, and ivory.

Authentic pieces feature a signature layout typically comprised of a central geometric diamond medallion flanked by stylized latch-hook or square motifs along the vertical axis. The knotting shows subtle hand-made irregularities, and the pile exhibits natural colour variation known as abrash.

A geometric tribal rug provides a grounding anchor in both contemporary and classical rooms. Placing it beneath neutral modern furniture or on dark timber flooring creates contrast, balancing structural lines with rich textile patterning.

Regular vacuuming using suction only without a rotating beater bar prevents fibre damage. Rugs should be rotated annually to ensure even wear, placed over a quality underlay, and professionally cleaned by a specialist wool textile cleaner when necessary.
