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 woven by nomadic tribes such as the Qashqai and Luri in South Persia for transporting goods on pack animals. These functional textiles were crafted using hand-spun wool and natural dyes, showcasing rich geometric patterns and tribal symbology.

Nomadic weavers utilised locally sourced, hand-spun sheeps wool for both the warp, weft, and pile. The pieces feature hand-knotted pile sections combined with flat-weave structures, dyed using traditional vegetable and organic dyes to achieve deep red, indigo, and ivory tones.

Genuine 19th-century pieces display natural dye variations known as abrash, slight asymmetrical irregularities in construction, and fine wool pile with a soft hand. Additionally, authentic items often feature original braided loops, brocaded bands, or intact flat-weave backs rather than modern synthetic backings.

Antique saddle bags make striking wall hangings when mounted, adding rich colour, texture, and historical interest to a room. Alternatively, complete khorjins can be displayed over the back of a sofa, draped across a bench, or framed behind glass as acoustic textile art.

Keep the textile away from direct sunlight to prevent natural dyes from fading. Clean by gently vacuuming with a brushless attachment, and consult a specialist antique rug restorer for professional cleaning or stabilisation rather than using liquid chemical cleaners.
