Archival Detail
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 rugs are hand-woven tribal textiles originating from the Kurdistan region across parts of Iran, Iraq, and Turkey. They typically feature heavy wool construction, bold geometric patterns, saturated vegetable dyes, and symmetrical or asymmetrical hand-knotted pile.

Traditionally, Kurdish rugs are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft. Dyes are derived from natural plant and mineral sources, producing rich shades of indigo blue, madder red, ochre, and natural beige.

Authentic examples feature a pliable wool foundation, subtle variations in dye tones known as abrash, and minor structural asymmetries typical of nomadic loom weaving. The underside reveals clear hand-knotted grid patterns rather than uniform machine backing.

A tribal Kurdish rug adds visual structure and warmth when placed on hardwood or polished concrete floors. Its geometric motifs complement minimalist modern furniture, serving as a focal point in living rooms, hallways, or dining areas.

Vacuum the rug regularly without using a rotating beater bar to avoid fibre damage. Rotate the textile periodically to equalize wear and light exposure, and spot-clean spills immediately using a clean cloth and diluted neutral wool detergent.
