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.

Originating from Central Anatolia, Konya prayer rugs typically feature a distinct stepped mihrab niche, bold geometric borders, and rich natural dyes such as madder red and indigo.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool on a wool warp and weft foundation, coloured with natural plant dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle colour variations known as abrash, irregular hand-spun yarn textures, flexible wool foundations, and traditional geometric tribal iconography.

A geometric prayer rug adds texture and historical focus when placed in an entryway, layered over a neutral flatweave, or mounted as woven wall art.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush bar, rotate periodically to balance light exposure, and rely on specialist rug cleaners for deep washing.
