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.
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.
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.

An Ok Bash (also written as Uk Bash) is a traditional handwoven textile bag crafted by nomadic Turkmen tribes, specifically designed to fit over and protect the bundled ends of wooden yurt poles during transport.

These textiles are hand-woven using hand-spun sheeps wool dyed with natural plant and mineral extracts. Construction typically combines flatweave and knotted-pile techniques, accented with braided wool ties and multi-coloured yarn tassels.

Authentic Yomut pieces feature distinct tribal motifs such as serrated chevrons or diamond patterns, a palette dominated by aubergine, rust brown, and indigo blue, along with slight natural dye variations known as abrash.

These decorative textile artifacts are commonly displayed as tactile wall art, mounted onto a bespoke hanging rod or framed within a shadow box to emphasize the geometric pattern and tassel fringe.

Keep the item out of direct sunlight to prevent natural dyes from fading. Dust softly using a low-suction vacuum attachment with a mesh screen, and consult a professional textile conservator for specialized cleaning.
