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 mafrash or torba is a traditional small woven bag or panel crafted by nomadic Central Asian tribes, particularly the Yomut Turkmen, to store household goods during transport and decorate tent interiors.

These textiles are hand-woven using hand-spun wool yarns for both warp and weft. They feature flatweave or soumak techniques and natural dyes to create geometric patterns in red, navy, brown, and cream shades.

Authentic pieces show natural colour variations from vegetable dyes, firm hand-woven construction, traditional geometric motifs specific to tribal sub-groups, and characteristic soft patina from age and usage.

Tribal flatweaves can be mounted on a custom display frame as tactile wall art, draped over a side table, or repurposed as a textured accent cushion cover.

Preserve antique textiles by avoiding direct sunlight exposure, gently vacuuming using a low-suction upholstery nozzle, and consulting a professional textile conservator for specialist cleaning.
