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.

Qashqai rugs originate from the nomadic Qashqai tribes of southwestern Iran, crafted primarily during the 19th and early 20th centuries. They are characterised by geometric motifs, central stepped medallions, and rich natural dye colour palettes including deep reds, indigo blues, and ivory.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft. The dyes are extracted from natural plant and mineral sources, such as madder root for red tones and indigo for blues.

Authentic pieces exhibit slight irregularities in pattern and symmetry due to being woven on portable nomadic looms. Examination of the underside reveals clear hand-knotted construction, supple wool foundations, and colour abrash, which is a subtle variation in dye tone across the pile.

A vibrant tribal rug serves as an anchor in neutral contemporary schemes, adding texture and historical grounding. It pairs effectively with natural wood furniture, clean-lined upholstery, or layered within traditional interior settings.

Vacuum regularly without using a rotating suction head to avoid pulling the fibres. Rotate the carpet periodically to ensure even wear and light exposure, and address spills immediately by blotting with a clean, dry cloth.
