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, crafted by village weavers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are renowned for eclectic curvilinear and geometric motifs, often featuring stylized variations of the boteh pattern set against light field grounds.

These rugs are hand-knotted using high-grade hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton or wool warp and weft foundation. Natural vegetable dyes derived from madder root, indigo, and local plants supply the distinct colour palette.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle colour variations known as abrash, caused by small hand-dyed wool batches, alongside minor weave irregularities inherent to village loom weaving. The reverse side reveals clear, visible hand-knotted construction rather than uniform machine backing.

An antique rug introduces texture and historical depth when placed over neutral timber floorboards in a living room, dining area, or study. It anchors minimalist modern furniture or complements traditional dark wood cabinetry.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush bar to prevent fibre damage, and rotate the rug annually to balance sun exposure and tread wear. Professional cleaning should be undertaken by a specialist in antique textiles using pH-neutral solutions.
