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

Ersari Turkmen carpets are hand-woven textiles produced by the Ersari tribe of Central Asia, characterised by deep red field tones and repeating octagonal gul motifs.

These floorcoverings are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool on a wool warp and weft, utilising natural dyes to produce rich terracotta, madder red, and navy tones.

Authentic nineteenth-century Turkmen rugs feature asymmetrical knots, a flexible hand-spun wool foundation, subtle colour variations known as abrash, and detailed woven kelim end-borders.

A traditional Turkmen carpet provides grounding texture and geometric structure, pairing effectively with dark timber furniture, neutral leather upholstery, or contemporary architectural elements.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush head prevents fibre wear, while immediate blotting of spills and periodic professional hand-washing ensure long-term preservation.
