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

A chuval is a large traditional storage bag woven by nomadic Turkmen tribes, such as the Ersari, often featuring geometric patterns inspired by ikat textiles and used to transport goods inside yurts.

Traditional chuvals are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool yarns on a wool foundation, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes to produce rich red, navy, and ivory tones.

Authentic 19th-century Turkmen pieces feature asymmetric hand-knotting, natural dye variations known as abrash, fine wool, and recurring tribal motifs framed by patterned borders.

A chuval face can be displayed as a mounted wall textile, draped over quiet corner furniture, or used as a textured focal point in contemporary and eclectic settings.

Maintain the textile by vacuuming gently using suction only, protecting it from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and consulting a specialist textile conservator for cleaning.
