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

An igsalyk is a specialized narrow woven container crafted by nomadic Turkmen tribes, specifically designed to store and protect drop spindles and spinning implements during movement.

These textiles are woven entirely from hand-spun wool, featuring a hand-knotted wool pile face, a durable plain-weave wool back, and braided wool tassels along the edges.

Authentic period examples demonstrate natural dye variation, hand-spun wool yarn with slight irregularities, fine asymmetric knotting, and specific tribal heraldic motifs like vertical geometric bands.

A spindle bag can be mounted inside a shadow box frame or hung directly as a narrow vertical textile accent on a gallery wall or entryway pillar.

To preserve historic wool textiles, display them away from direct sunlight and damp environments, brush gently with a soft brush, and consult a professional textile conservator for washing.
