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.

FAQs

Baluch saddle bag faces are front panels salvaged from traditional double-pouch bags used by nomadic tribes of the Baluchistan region for transport and storage.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun wool foundations and pile, coloured using natural vegetable and insect dyes such as madder, indigo, and walnut husk.

Authenticity is indicated by irregular hand-spun yarn, natural abrash variations in colour, dark wool wefts, and traditional nomadic geometric motifs rather than rigid symmetry.

These pieces function well as small decorative wall hangings, framed textile art, or miniature floor accents to introduce texture and heritage to a room.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and mounting out of direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation.
