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

Malayer rugs originate from the Hamadan region of western Persia, woven primarily during the 19th and early 20th centuries. They are recognised for their diverse designs featuring central medallions, stylized animal motifs, and balanced colour palettes.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile secured onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation. The dyes are typically derived from natural vegetable sources, creating rich terracotta, ivory, and indigo tones.

Authentic pieces display subtle irregularities in hand-knotted construction, soft wear consistent with age, and a flexible handle. The reverse side clearly mirrors the design and knot structure visible on the front face.

A patterned rug grounds neutral contemporary furniture by introducing visual texture, structural geometry, and warm colour tones. Placing it beneath a coffee table or seating group creates an anchored focal point within open-plan spaces.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar prevents fibre breakage while removing surface dust. Professional dry cleaning and immediate spot cleaning with a damp neutral cloth preserve the natural wool fibres and vegetable dyes.
