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.

Cataloguer’s note

Written by Sellingantiques from the dealer’s photographs and listing
  • Period19th century
  • SizeH 36 cm (14 in) x W 36 cm (14 in)

This antique vanity-bag originates from the Qashqa'i Confederacy in South-West Persia, produced during the late nineteenth century around 1880 by the Amaleh Tayefeh and Igder Tireh. The face of the bag incorporates a knotted-pile construction showing vertical borders in ivory and dark blue, decorated with tiny stylised botehs alongside red and green accents. The top opening is detailed in madder-red with lappits and blue braided loop ties, while the piece measures 36 cm high and 36 cm wide. Suitable for display or careful curation within a modern home, this textile can be arranged on a console table, mounted on a wall within a specialist collection, or styled as a decorative accent in a traditional study. The portable format allows for placement in various interior settings where historical nomadic weaves are appreciated.
