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.

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 1890 tribal cushion is made from an antique hand-woven woollen bag face originally used by nomadic people for carrying goods. The rectangular piece displays a navy blue ground decorated with tree of life, animal motifs, and geometric borders, finished with a colourful tassel fringe around the edges. Detailed patterns in red, green, brown, pink, and white enrich the woven surface alongside a patterned white border. Measuring 50 cm high, 76 cm wide, and 24 cm deep, the cushion works well placed at the end of a sofa in a living room interior. Nomadic weaving techniques shape the wool and cotton construction, incorporating a hand-woven kilim back with a striped design. The textile shows traditional folk motifs and dense patterning characteristic of tribal artistry from the late nineteenth century. Placed on seating furniture, the cushion introduces texture and traditional patterns to a modern home setting.

FAQs

Vacuum softly using a brush attachment on low suction, spot clean only with a mild wool detergent, and position away from constant direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.

Place the cushion on neutral upholstery, dark leather seating, or wooden benching to add visual texture, deep colour contrast, and historical depth to modern or eclectic rooms.

Authentic pieces display hand-spun yarn variations, subtle colour shifts known as abrash, traditional tribal symbols, and natural wear consistent with historical utilitarian use.

These textiles are typically constructed from hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton foundation, dyed using natural plant and mineral pigments, and finished with decorative tassel fringes.

An antique bag face cushion is a decorative pillow constructed using the preserved front section of a hand-woven nomadic storage bag, historically used for transporting goods across Central and Western Asia.
