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 Koummya is the traditional curved dagger of the Berber populations of Morocco, characterised by a distinctive contoured hilt, an exaggerated upturned tip on the scabbard, and a single-edged curved blade.

These daggers typically feature steel blades, hilts carved from hardwood or dense horn with metal overlays, and scabbards fashioned from engraved brass or silver alloy decorated with chased geometric motifs.

Authentic historical pieces display hand-chased metalwork, hand-carved hilts showing natural handling wear, functional attachment rings for baldric cords, and hand-forged steel blades with natural patination.

Mount the sheathed dagger inside a custom shadow box frame, display it upright on a specialist stand upon a bookshelf, or lay it flat on a decorative tray as an ethnographic accent piece.

Keep the metal components dry and lightly coated with microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidisation, dust the textile baldric cords with a soft brush, and avoid harsh chemical polishes.
