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.
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.
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.

Uzbek embroidered amulets, historically known as tumarch or tribal talismans, originated in Central Asia during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Crafted primarily by nomadic and settled Uzbek and Lakai needleworkers, these small decorative textiles were created to bring good fortune, ward off evil spirits, and adorn domestic yurt or home interiors.

Traditional Central Asian embroideries feature hand-spun silk threads worked onto a background fabric of woven cotton or wool. Artisans utilised techniques such as couching, chain stitch, and basma stitch to create vibrant patterns, often completing the pieces with glass beads, braided cords, and silk yarn tassels.

Authentic period pieces display soft colour variations characteristic of natural vegetable dyes, such as madder and indigo, alongside slight irregularities in hand-spun foundation fabrics. Genuine antiques show age-appropriate wear to the silk threads, original hand-stitched borders, and traditional regional motifs rather than modern synthetic dyes.

A small embroidered textile panel can be mounted inside a custom acrylic or shadow-box frame to protect it while creating a striking focal point. Alternatively, suspend the textile directly from a slim brass rod on a neutral or dark wall to add texture and cultural heritage to an eclectic gallery wall.

Keep historical silk textiles away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources to prevent thread fading and fibre degradation. Never wash antique embroideries; instead, consult a professional textile conservator for specialized dry cleaning and use acid-free mounting materials for display.
