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.

Originating from the village of Karadja in Northwest Persia near the Heriz region, Karadja rugs are distinct geometric tribal textiles. They traditionally feature a central field adorned with three distinct geometric medallions flanked by latch-hook motifs and floral borders.

Karadja rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton foundation. Artisans historically utilised natural vegetable dyes to produce vibrant madder reds, deep indigo blues, and cream accent tones.

Authentic Karadja rugs feature a single-weft construction and a vertical alignment of geometric medallions along the central field. Inspecting the underside reveals asymmetrical hand-knitting knots and subtle natural colour variations known as abrash.

A geometric Karadja rug provides structure and color contrast when placed in an entryway, study, or beneath modern seating. Its defined angular motifs and saturated palette complement light oak flooring, neutral textiles, and leather upholstery.

Vacuum regularly using suction only to protect the hand-knotted pile and fringes from damage. Rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear, and clean spills immediately by blotting with a clean, dry cloth.
