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

Saddle bags, traditionally known as khorjin, were crafted by the Shahsavan nomadic tribes of North West Persia during the 19th and early 20th centuries to transport goods across rugged terrain during seasonal migrations.

These pieces combine heavy, vegetable-tanned leather backings with hand-spun wool front panels woven using flatweave or pile kilim techniques, bound together with hand-stitched leather edging and metal buckles.

Authentic pieces feature natural, vegetable-based dyes creating rich organic hues, hand-spun wool showing slight variations in texture, and distinct geometric or striped flatweave patterns characteristic of North West Persian tribal weavers.

Textile art of this type is frequently displayed as a decorative wall hanging in a hallway, mounted inside a custom shadow box frame, or draped across a rustic wooden bench to add warmth and history.

Display the piece away from direct sunlight and humidity sources. Dust the wool gently with a soft-bristled brush, and condition the leather sections using a specialist neutral leather wax sparingly.
