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

Kurdish rugs are woven by nomadic and village weavers across the mountainous regions of Kurdistan. These textiles are renowned for their expressive tribal iconography, vibrant vegetable dyes, and durable hand-knotted construction tailored for rugged daily use.

These rugs are typically hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation. The use of natural organic dyes creates rich hues, while symmetrical or asymmetrical knots ensure a thick, resilient surface.

Authentic pieces exhibit visible colour variations known as abrash, caused by small batches of hand-dyed yarn. They also feature flexible wool foundations, geometric or animal motifs, and subtle irregularities in alignment characteristic of village loom weaving.

Long gallery rugs work effectively in hallways, entrance corridors, or positioned alongside large furniture pieces to anchor open-plan spaces. Their geometric patterns provide visual contrast against modern minimalist flooring or traditional floorboards.

Regular gentle suction vacuuming without a rotating beater bar prevents fiber degradation. Using a quality rug pad protects against movement and friction, while professional hand-washing is advised for deep cleaning.
