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.

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

A Tekke Turkmen wedding rug is a hand-knotted textile traditionally crafted by women of the Tekke tribe in Central Asia as part of a dowry. These pieces typically feature repeating geometric gul motifs set against a rich madder red field.

Tekke rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool on a wool warp and weft, often incorporating natural vegetable dyes to create shades of deep red, navy, and cream. They feature fine asymmetrical knots that allow for precise, intricate geometric patterns.

Authentic 19th-century Tekke rugs exhibit natural dye variation, a supple wool foundation, and distinct tribal gul proportions with fine knot density. Inspecting the back reveals asymmetric knot construction and clear pattern definition rather than synthetic uniformity.

A red tribal rug introduces warmth and texture to contemporary spaces, acting as a focal point in living areas or beneath neutral-toned furniture. Its rich geometric patterns complement both traditional wooden antiques and minimal modern decor.

Vacuum an antique wool rug regularly using a low-suction setting without a rotating beater bar to prevent fibre damage. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth and consult a professional textile restorer for deep cleaning.
