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

A Mahal Kelleh rug is a hand-knotted Persian carpet originating from the Arak region, woven in a long, wide format distinct from standard hallway runners.

These rugs are constructed with a hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, using yarns coloured with natural dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural colour variations known as abrash, hand-finished side selvages, and distinct asymmetrical or symmetrical hand-knotted patterns visible on the reverse side.

A Kelleh format rug functions well in wide corridors, long entrance halls, open-plan dining zones, or placed beside large furniture arrangements to define circulation paths.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotary beater bar, rotate the piece periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly, and clean professionally when required.
