Provenance over polish
We prefer pieces with history. A scratch is rarely a flaw — more often it is a chapter from the hands that held it.
ہماری کہانی
A passion for timeless treasures.
Shaban Antiques was founded in Quetta in 2018 by Archaeologist Salang Khan. The Name of Trust is more than a slogan — it is how every piece is chosen, examined, and packed. Brass and copper, carved wood, porcelain, jewellery, gemstones, and rare decorative objects pass through our hands so their stories can continue. Our mission is simple: protect, preserve, and pass heritage forward.
Patient sourcing
We sell what we find, not what a catalogue asks for. The cabinet rotates with old bazaars, collectors, and time.
Honest photography
No retouching the patina. What you see in our pictures is what arrives at your door.
Conversation, not checkout
Most of our orders begin on WhatsApp. Extra photos, measurements, and packing notes — we like it that way.

Our Story
I am Archaeologist Salang Khan, and my connection with the past goes beyond collecting old objects. As an archaeologist, I have always believed that every heritage piece carries a fragment of history — a story of the people, cultures, craftsmanship, and civilizations that came before us.
My vision for Shaban Antiques is simple: to protect, preserve, and pass heritage forward.
Across Pakistan and beyond, countless antiques, traditional artworks, jewellery, gemstones, manuscripts, decorative objects, and other cultural pieces carry stories that deserve to survive. I believe these pieces should not simply disappear with time. They deserve to be understood, cared for, and preserved for generations to come.
Shaban Antiques was created with this purpose — to carefully discover and preserve meaningful pieces of the past and connect them with valuable collectors who appreciate their history, craftsmanship, and cultural significance.
For me, an antique is not merely an old object. It is a piece of heritage entrusted to the present so that its story can continue into the future. Our work is not only about collecting antiques. It is about keeping history alive.
