FAQs

Shahsevan bags were woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in the northwestern region of Persia, particularly around Caucasia and Azerbaijan, primarily during the 19th century for practical storage and domestic use.

Authentic pieces are crafted from handspun wool with natural vegetable dyes, frequently incorporating a combination of pile-woven faces and flat-woven kilim backs or plain-weave extensions.

Authenticity is determined by examining the consistency of handspun wool, the reactivity and subtle variations of natural dyes, traditional geometric motifs, and structural wear consistent with nineteenth-century nomadic artefacts.

These textiles are frequently mounted and framed as wall art, displayed on flat surfaces, or incorporated into curated gallery walls to introduce rich texture and historic character to contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires keeping the items out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, using gentle vacuuming through a mesh screen for dust removal, and avoiding chemical washing or excessive moisture.
