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

Kolyai rugs are hand-knotted textiles traditionally woven by Kurdish tribes in the Kermanshah province of Western Persia. They are recognised for their heavy wool pile, bold geometric motifs, and saturated natural dyes.

These carpets are constructed with a hand-spun wool pile knotting on a sturdy wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. Symmetrical hand-knotting creates a thick, durable texture designed for daily practical use.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-spun wool showing subtle abrash colour variations from natural plant dyes. Inspecting the underside reveals hand-bound edges and irregular hand-knotted construction without synthetic backings.

A tribal rug provides visual grounding and texture contrast when paired with contemporary minimalist furniture or mid-century timber pieces. It acts as an anchor in living areas, wide hallways, or underneath dining arrangements.

Vacuum regularly without using a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling fibres. Promptly blot liquid spills with a clean cloth and neutral soapy water, and rotate the rug annually to balance light exposure and foot traffic.
