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

Originating from the Arak region of Persia, Mahal carpets are renowned for their large-scale botanical motifs, all-over patterns, and balanced colour palettes. They were historically woven on wide looms for Western export, bridging traditional oriental weaving craftsmanship with European decorative requirements.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton foundation, incorporating vegetable-based dyes. The asymmetrical Persian knot technique creates a durable, dense pile designed to withstand generations of floor use.

Authentic examples feature subtle colour variations, known as abrash, caused by hand-dyed wool batches, alongside flexible backings and hand-bound selvedges. The design typically favours repeating floral palmettes or lattice compositions rather than a single rigid central medallion.

Large-scale Persian carpets anchor contemporary spaces by offering visual weight, rich texture, and historical contrast. Placing intricate botanical patterns beneath modern minimalist furniture creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating motorised brush bar prevents fibre damage. Liquid spills should be blotted immediately with a clean dry cloth, and professional cleaning by a specialist textile conservator is recommended periodically.
