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.

Ghiordes prayer rugs originate from the town of Gordes in western Anatolia and are characterised by their central mihrab niche design, stepped arches, and intricate multi-layered border stripes.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a wool or cotton foundation, utilising natural dyes to achieve muted terracotta, ochre, and blue tones.

Authenticity is identified through the distinct Turkish double knot technique, micro-patterned border bands, natural dye variations, and characteristic architectural arch symmetry.

An antique rug works effectively mounted on a wall as decorative textile art, layered over neutral floor coverings, or placed in a study to add historic texture.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush, turn periodically to distribute wear, and consult a professional restorer for specialist cleaning.
