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

Malayer rugs originate from the Malayer region in western Iran, produced predominantly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are recognized for their individualistic designs, combining refined urban floral patterns with rustic tribal geometric motifs.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton foundation. Natural vegetable dyes, derived from sources such as madder root and indigo, produce deep shades of red, navy, and ivory.

Authenticity is indicated by natural dye color variations, known as abrash, along with asymmetric or symmetric hand-knotted construction visible on the reverse. Slight irregularities in the geometric proportions and consistent wear patterns further distinguish antique pieces.

A red antique rug provides warm contrast on dark wood or neutral stone floors in contemporary spaces. It functions effectively beneath clean-lined furniture, serving as a grounded anchor in neutral or eclectic room schemes.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to protect the hand-spun wool fibres. Address spills immediately by blotting with cold water and a clean cloth, and consult a specialist carpet restorer for professional washing.
