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.

Tekke Turkoman rugs originate from Central Asian nomadic tribes and are distinguished by their disciplined repeating octagonal motifs, known as gols, set against a rich red or deep terracotta field.

These textiles are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a wool foundation, frequently incorporating silk highlights within the gol motifs to add lustre and contrast.

Authenticity is indicated by natural plant-based dyes, fine knot density, asymmetrical knotting, a supple handle, and complex geometric elem panels at the end borders.

A Turkmen rug provides visual structure and warmth when placed over hardwood flooring or layered over neutral modern carpets in living areas and study spaces.

Preservation requires regular suction-only vacuuming without a rotating beater bar, immediate blotting of liquid spills, and periodic professional cleaning by an antique rug specialist.
