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

A sofreh is a flatwoven textile traditionally crafted by the nomadic Afshar tribes of South Persia, historically utilised as a communal dining cloth for serving bread and food.

These textiles were handwoven on horizontal looms using hand-spun wool yarns, incorporating natural dyes and tightly woven flatweave techniques for durability.

Authentic pieces feature dense wool construction, geometric central medallions or concentric square borders, minor natural dye variations known as abrash, and distinctively bound selvedges.

A flatwoven sofreh can be mounted on a wall as decorative textile artwork, laid as a central accent rug, or draped over furniture to add texture and historical character.

Preserve the fibres by vacuuming gently without a motorised brush bar, protecting the textile from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and cleaning spills immediately with cold water and mild detergent.
