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.
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.

Shahsavan rugs originated among nomadic tribal confederations in northwestern Iran and the southern Caucasus. Woven primarily for utilitarian purposes such as floor coverings and bedding bags, these textiles feature distinct geometric iconography reflecting tribal heritage.

Traditionally woven using hand-spun wool for both pile and warp, these pieces utilise natural vegetable and mineral dyes to produce rich hues. The rugs are hand-knotted on narrow horizontal looms suited to a nomadic lifestyle.

Authentic antique tribal runners display slight structural irregularities and width variations due to portable loom construction. Look for natural colour variations known as abrash, woollen foundations, and traditional geometric medallion motifs.

A long tribal runner adds architectural structure and visual warmth to hallways, corridors, or open-plan living areas. Placing geometric tribal patterns alongside streamlined modern furniture creates an engaging textural contrast.

Vacuum gently without a beater bar attachment to prevent fibre wear, and rotate the rug regularly to ensure balanced light exposure. Professional dry or low-moisture cleaning by a specialist is recommended.
