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.

Kurdish runners are hand-knotted textiles woven by Kurdish nomadic or village weavers across western Persia and eastern Anatolia. They are defined by their long, narrow proportions, heavyweight wool foundations, rich saturated dyes, and repeating geometric or tribal motifs.

These rugs were constructed almost exclusively using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation warps and wefts. The wool was coloured using locally sourced natural plant and mineral dyes, resulting in deep navy blues, madder reds, terracottas, and warm golds.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted wool construction with characteristic slight variations in width along the length, known as abrash dye variations, soft age-related wear to the pile, and flexible, organic handle rather than stiff chemical backing.

Long runners are ideal for defining circulation spaces such as entrance hallways, long corridors, or landing areas. Their linear geometry and saturated colour palette anchor surrounding architecture while adding acoustic dampening and tactile warmth underfoot.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to protect the wool fibres. Rotate the rug annually to ensure even foot-traffic distribution, and consult a professional specialist conservator for periodic deep cleaning.
