Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight to prevent colour fade, keeping the textile away from moisture, and consulting a textile conservator for specialized cleaning.

These vibrant pieces are frequently mounted and framed as textile art or displayed as small accent rugs on floors or low surfaces to introduce texture and cultural heritage to a room.

Authentic items from the early 20th century or earlier display hand-spun natural-dyed yarns, traditional geometric or medallion motifs, and genuine signs of nomad use and age within the felt and stitching.

These pieces typically feature a dense wool felt foundation embellished with intricate tambour embroidery executed in brightly coloured silk or wool threads.

Lakai saddle rugs are traditional textiles crafted by the Lakai, an Uzbek subgroup of Central Asia, historically used to decorate horse tack and as utility items within nomadic communities.
