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 torba is a small, rectangular storage bag traditionally woven by nomadic Turkmen tribes of Central Asia. Mounted inside yurts or used during transport on pack animals, these bags held household items and personal belongings.

Traditional Turkmen textiles are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool foundation. Dyes are derived from natural sources, such as madder root for characteristic red hues and indigo for dark blues.

Authentic Tekke weavings feature dense knotting, supple wool, and distinct geometric octagonal motifs known as guls. Early pieces display deep natural red dyes, tight symmetry, and balanced proportions across the field design.

Textile fragments are frequently mounted and framed as custom wall art to protect the structure while displaying the pattern. They can also be placed on tabletops or credenzas to add historical texture and color accent to contemporary settings.

Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fibre degradation and colour fading. Cleaning should be performed exclusively by specialist antique rug restorers using gentle suction and water-free conservation methods.
