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.

A Persian Isfahan pictorial rug is a fine hand-knotted textile originating from the weaving centre of Isfahan, featuring detailed narrative scenes, human figures, flora, or historical motifs rather than purely geometric patterns.

These rugs are typically crafted using fine wool or silk pile spun onto a silk or cotton foundation, allowing high knot density and precise detail in the design.

Authentic Isfahan rugs feature exceptionally high knot counts, precise artistic draftsmanship, closely trimmed pile, and often include dynamic calligraphic signatures woven into the upper border edge.

A pictorial rug can be mounted on a wall as framed textile artwork to create a focal point, or placed on a floor in low-traffic areas such as study spaces or reading nooks.

Keep the rug away from direct sunlight to avoid colour fading, vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotary brush, and seek professional conservation services for periodic deep cleaning.
