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

Shirvan rugs originate from the South Caucasus region and are characterised by geometric patterns, precise draughtsmanship, and hand-knotted wool construction.

These carpets were hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation, dyed with natural plant and mineral pigments.

Authentic pieces feature flexible all-wool foundations, fine knot density, regional motifs such as the Gymyl medallion, and subtle colour variations known as abrash.

Position the rug as a grounding element in a room, using its strong geometric forms and deep red tones to contrast against neutral modern furniture.

Vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, employ a quality rug pad underneath, and arrange professional cleaning through a specialist antique textile conservator.
