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

Akstafa rugs are hand-knotted textiles produced in the Caucasus region, traditionally recognised by their distinctive long formats and characteristic bird motifs flanking geometric medallions.

These rugs are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for the pile, warp, and weft, often dyed with natural vegetable colorants that yield deep indigo, madder red, and ivory tones.

Authenticity is determined by examining the knot density, natural colour variations, wear patterns, hand-spun wool characteristics, and traditional tribal border designs.

Such pieces function well as grounding elements in contemporary spaces, often placed in hallways or used to add texture and historical contrast beneath minimalist furniture.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without the beater bar, professional conservation cleaning when necessary, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight.
