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.

Malayer rugs originate from the Hamadan region of western Persia, crafted in villages surrounding the town of Malayer during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These textiles are recognised for their single-weft construction, diverse geometric or floral designs, and natural vegetable-dyed wool.

Traditional Malayer rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheeps wool pile woven onto a durable cotton or wool warp foundation. Weavers utilised symmetrical or asymmetrical knots combined with dyes derived from local plants, madder root, and indigo.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle organic asymmetry in design, natural colour variation known as abrash, and soft pile condition from age. The reverse side reveals distinct knot visibility, flexible handle, and a single-weft weave structure typical of the region.

A traditional Persian rug adds visual texture and depth when placed beneath a contemporary sofa arrangement or dining set. Anchoring a room with patterned antique textiles creates balanced contrast against modern hardwood floors or neutral furnishings.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar to prevent fibre damage, and rotate the rug annually to balance foot traffic exposure. Professional hand-washing using pH-neutral solutions is recommended every few years, avoiding harsh chemical treatments.
