The repeat design of blue, white and green 'boteh' sit on a beautifully 'abrashed' red ground. Abrash refers to the use of many different shades, which gives the colours softness and depth.

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

Bakshaish rugs originate from North-West Persia and are recognized for their tribal, geometric interpretations of classical Persian patterns, often featuring stylized boteh motifs, bold borders, and relaxed artistic drawing.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton foundation, coloured using traditional natural vegetable and plant dyes.

Authenticity is indicated by subtle color shifts known as abrash, slight geometric asymmetries inherent to hand-loom weaving, soft natural dye aging, and characteristic knotting structures on the reverse.

Long gallery rugs or runners are ideal for anchoring narrow spaces such as hallways, corridors, or entryways, adding rich texture, historic character, and visual grounding alongside neutral or contemporary decor.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug periodically to equalize foot traffic, use a quality rug underlay, and arrange professional specialist cleaning when required.
