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

Khamseh rugs are woven by nomadic tribes in Southwest Persia, typically featuring geometric pole-medallion designs, bird motifs, and rich vegetable-dyed wool.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit slight weave irregularities, flexible wool foundations, natural colour variation known as abrash, and characteristic stylised bird or animal motifs.

A tribal rug anchors a modern space by introducing rich texture, geometric balance, and grounding warm tones beneath modern or timber furniture.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically for even wear, and clean spills immediately with a damp cloth.
