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 large antique Bakshiash carpet originates from 1890 and follows the Persian Serapi style. It is fashioned from wool and cotton, displaying a terracotta red field set against blue spandrels, complemented by cream and light blue tones alongside noticeable abrash colour variations. The surface exhibits a worn condition with fringe along the bottom edge, featuring a central geometric star medallion, stepped spandrels, and a patterned border with turtle motifs. The rug measures 453 cm in height and 342 cm in width. It suits placement on a living room or study floor within an English country house interior, bringing traditional patterned decoration to the space.

FAQs

Bakshaish and Serapi carpets are woven in Northwest Persia, known for large-scale geometric central medallions, spacious design layouts, and vibrant palettes derived from natural plant and mineral dyes.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, coloured with traditional natural dyes.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical hand-knotted construction, natural colour variations known as abrash, flexible wool foundations, and stylized geometric medallion motifs rather than curvilinear floral patterns.

A large geometric carpet can anchor a living room or dining zone, creating visual structure when placed under contemporary neutral furniture or paired with traditional timber pieces.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar removes surface dust. Spills should be blotted immediately with a dry cloth, and thorough cleaning should be conducted by a professional wool textile specialist.
