This antique Persian tribal saddle bag from circa 1900 is handwoven from wool and cotton, displaying a navy blue field, terracotta red, cream, blue, and yellow decoration. The square piece features a central geometric diamond medallion, latch-hook borders, and a series of woven carry loops along the top edge above a patterned band. Additional details include multi-coloured geometric motifs and fringed edging. The piece measures 48 cm high excluding loops by 52 cm wide by 1 cm deep. It works well displayed flat as a decorative textile hanging on a narrow wall space in a living room, hallway, or study.

FAQs

An Afshar saddle bag, historically known as a khorjin, is a handwoven dual-pouch storage textile created by nomadic Afshar tribes of south-eastern Iran for transporting goods across long distances.

These textiles are typically crafted using hand-spun wool dyed with natural plant extracts, featuring a hand-knotted pile front panel for durability and a plain flat-weave backing tied with woven loops.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun wool yarn with slight natural colour variations known as abrash, geometric medallion motifs with latch-hook borders, and structural evidence of nomadic hand-loom weaving.

A tribal saddle bag can be mounted as framed textile wall art, displayed over a wooden bench, or adapted into a decorative accent cushion to add colour and texture to living spaces.

Vacuum gently using a low-suction attachment without a rotary brush bar, keep away from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and professionally clean with a specialist antique rug restorer when required.
