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.

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.

This South Persian Khamseh wool rug dates from 1910 and measures 158 cm high by 121 cm wide with a 0.8 cm depth. The pile displays a navy blue and red palette with cream accents, incorporating a triple diamond medallion scheme, stylised bird motifs, and a geometric latch-hook border. Visible details include a glossy pile finish, wear primarily on the upper left side corners, small bites out of the sides, and a small stitched repair. Tassel fringes finish the top and bottom edges. Suitable for placement as an antique floor covering in an English country house setting, this piece works effectively on wooden flooring in a living room, hallway, or study. The traditional tribal design and hand-knotted wool construction provide authentic character for interior spaces seeking historical textile elements.

FAQs

Khamseh rugs were traditionally woven by the nomadic Khamseh Confederacy in South-West Persia, characterised by intricate geometric compositions, multiple diamond medallions, and small stylised bird or animal motifs throughout the field.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a wool or cotton warp and weft, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes to yield rich indigo blues, madder reds, and soft ivory tones.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle organic variations in weave and symmetry, natural colour abrash across the wool, a flexible soft handle, and hand-overcast side edges rather than modern machine binding.

Positioning a patterned tribal rug over neutral natural-fibre carpet provides layered visual texture, while placing it on polished floorboards anchors furniture arrangements in living areas, hallways, or studies.

Suction vacuum regularly without a rotating brush attachment, rotate the carpet annually to balance wear from foot traffic and light exposure, and treat liquid spills immediately by blotting with a dry cloth.
