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

Originating from Central Anatolia, Konya rugs are traditional Turkish woven textiles defined by their geometric motifs, distinct colour palettes, and historic roots in village weaving traditions.

These rugs are typically hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and the warp-and-weft foundation, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic pieces feature hand-knotted wool construction, subtle colour variations known as abrash, irregular geometric symmetry from village looms, and a flexible, soft backing rather than stiff synthetic adhesives.

Small antique rugs function effectively as focal accents in hallways, layered over neutral natural-fibre floor coverings, or displayed on walls as framed textile artwork.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush bar, clean spills immediately with cold water and an absorbent cloth, and position away from intense direct sunlight while utilizing a non-slip underlay.
