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, horizontal storage bag traditionally woven by the nomadic Ersari tribe of Turkmenistan. Mounted inside nomadic yurts or attached to pack animals during migration, these textiles served both practical storage purposes and decorative functions.

Traditional Turkmen torbas are woven entirely from hand-spun sheep wool, often dyed using natural plant and mineral pigments. Construction techniques combine flatweave kilim or extra-warp floating patterns with structural backing and twisted wool fringe tassels along the lower edge.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun wool irregularities, natural dye variations (abrash), and structural details such as original woven backing fabrics and hand-finished selvedges. Tribal motifs, including repeating geometric patterns and specific tribal crests, reflect regional nomadic heraldry.

Interior designers frequently display tribal torbas as framed art, mounted wall hangings, or decorative accent textiles. Their geometric patterns and warm terracotta colour palette complement neutral stone walls, timber sideboards, and minimalist decorative schemes.

Antique wool flatweaves should be kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Vacuum gently using a low-suction brush attachment without a rotating beater bar, and consult a professional textile conservator for wet cleaning or structural repairs.
