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.

Khamseh rugs were traditionally woven by nomadic tribal confederations in the Fars province of southern Persia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These carpets are recognised for their dense geometric patterns, natural vegetable dyes, and multi-medallion designs.

Authentic Khamseh carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for the pile, often woven onto a wool or cotton warp and weft. Dyes were historically derived from natural plant and mineral sources to produce rich red, indigo blue, ochre, and cream shades.

Authentic pieces feature flexible wool foundations, intricate tribal geometry incorporating central medallions, and fine natural dye abrash variations throughout the field. Small stylised animal or floral motifs within the field decoration are also characteristic.

A deep red Khamseh rug acts as an anchoring focal piece when placed beneath neutral sofa arrangements or dark wood dining sets. The detailed tribal pattern contrasts effectively with clean contemporary lines, polished floorboards, and natural leather furnishings.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting to prevent pulling the hand-knotted fibres. Rotate the rug annually to ensure balanced wear and sun exposure, and consult a specialist rug restorer for stain removal or deep washing.
