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

These small woven pouches, historically known as chantai or vanity bags, were crafted by nomadic Afshar tribes in Southern Persia to store personal belongings, cosmetics, or small mirrors during migration.

They were hand-woven using hand-spun wool dyed with natural plant and mineral extracts, featuring hand-knotted pile or flatweave soumak techniques constructed upon durable wool foundations.

Authentic examples display natural dye variations known as abrash, flexible hand-spun wool warps, geometric stylized floral motifs unique to the Kerman region, and hand-finished braided borders.

These small tribal textiles can be mounted in shadow boxes as framed wall art, laid across console tables, or used as textured accents on sideboards and bookshelves.

Keep the wool away from direct sunlight and damp environments, vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, and consult a qualified textile conservator for professional cleaning.
