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

Nomadic horse trappings are decorative and functional handwoven textiles created by pastoral tribes to adorn horses and camels during ceremonies, weddings, and migrations.

These pieces are typically handwoven using hand-spun sheeps wool dyed with natural plant extracts, featuring flatweave or knotted techniques combined with braided tassels and fringe work.

Authentic Persian tribal textiles feature geometric motifs, natural dye variations known as abrash, hand-spun wool, and minor asymmetries inherent to portable loom production.

These woven textiles are ideal displayed as framed wall art or hung directly on narrow accent walls to add texture, colour, and tribal character to modern spaces.

Keep wool textiles away from direct sunlight and humidity, vacuum gently on low suction without a brush attachment, and consult a textile specialist for professional conservation.
