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.

This 1880 Turkmen tribal floor covering set consists of a main carpet and a matching runner in hand-woven wool. The woollen construction displays a primary deep red field with repeated geometric gul patterns in navy blue and ivory, complemented by multiple border bands and selvedge fringe at the ends. The first piece measures 254 cm by 120 cm, and the second piece measures 255 cm by 36 cm, excluding the fringes and selvedges. Both items show some damages and wear as pictured. Suitable for use on the floor or as wall displays, these items bring traditional character to a room. They can be placed in a hallway, living room, study, or bedroom in an English country house interior, adding texture and historical pattern to the space. The two-piece set functions practically as floor coverings or decorative textile art.

FAQs

A Tekke Turkmen carpet is a hand-knotted wool textile crafted by the Tekke tribe of Central Asia, historically recognised by its deep red ground and repeating octagonal gul motifs.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the warp/weft foundation, colored using natural plant and insect dyes to achieve dark red, navy, and ivory shades.

Authentic 19th-century examples display fine asymmetrical knots, natural dye variations (abrash), precise geometric gul symmetry, and woven flat-weave end skirts (elem).

Place the carpet over neutral timber or stone flooring to ground the space, pairing its rich deep red tones with leather seating, dark wood furniture, or neutral modern upholstery.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush bar, rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear, use a quality rug pad underneath, and consult a specialist restorer for professional hand cleaning.
