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.

This antique Persian tribal rug dates from 1890 and is constructed from wool with a soft, floppy handle and long glossy pile. The rectangular textile measures 245 cm high, 155 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, displaying a classic Shekarlu Qashqai design with a double hooked medallion arrangement. The field is populated with animals and tribal motifs, executed in a palette of navy blue, dark red, and cream, alongside secondary tones of yellow and green. The piece is bordered by geometric patterns and retains its original weft work panel finishes at both ends, accompanied by red wefts. The surface shows slight even wear with a good long pile, and the textile has been hand washed. It is suitable for normal domestic use in an English Country House setting, positioned on the floor as a functional room accent.

FAQs

Shekarlu rugs were woven by nomadic Qashqai tribespeople in South West Persia, recognised by their complex geometric diamond medallions, rich palette, and detailed tribal iconography.

These rugs were hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a wool warp and weft foundation, coloured with vegetable and mineral dyes.

Authentic pieces display subtle asymmetrical design variations, characteristic colour shifts known as abrash, and a flexible handle resulting from nomadic loom construction.

A tribal carpet adds grounding texture and rich detail when paired with minimalist contemporary furniture, dark timber floorboards, or neutral upholstery.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating beater bar, rotate regularly to ensure balanced wear, and utilise professional rug cleaning specialists for deep maintenance.
