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.

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 Kap is a small, handwoven storage bag or pouch crafted by nomadic Turkmen tribes, traditionally used to hold household goods inside yurts or during nomadic migrations.

These textiles are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes, and finished with knotted fringes and braided cords.

Authentic Yomut pieces feature distinct geometric gul motifs, deep madder red and indigo colour palettes, hand-spun wool warp and weft threads, and natural irregularities inherent to tribal handloom weaving.

Tribal textile bags can be mounted on a neutral wall as textural art, draped over wooden furniture, or framed inside a shadow box to display historical craftsmanship.

Keep the wool textile out of direct sunlight, vacuum gently without a rotating brush bar, and consult a professional textile conservator for specialized washing.
