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

Woven in northwestern Iran around the turn of the 20th century, Malayer rugs were crafted in small village workshops. They are known for combining decorative Persian curvilinear motifs with geometric tribal patterns influenced by nearby nomadic weaving traditions.

These rugs are typically hand-knotted with a hand-spun wool pile built upon a cotton warp and weft foundation. Natural vegetable and plant-based dyes were historically used to achieve saturated hues of red, indigo, and ivory.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical hand-knotted weaves, slight variations in pattern symmetry, and natural colour abrash shading. The back of the rug will display exposed knotting consistent with village hand-weaving techniques rather than uniform machine production.

Geometric village rugs serve as a focal point against natural timber floors or polished concrete. Positioning the rug beneath neutral upholstery allows the rich red and navy tones to anchor the room without overwhelming modern architectural elements.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar prevents fibre wear. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean cloth, and professional cleaning by an antique textile specialist is recommended every few years.
