Complete Set of Superb Antique Yuruk Nomadic Saddle Bags (Heybe). Eastern Anatolia,late 19th Century. Saddle Bag

19th century
Description

EASTERN ANATOLIA,LAST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY.

One very rarely discovers a pair of tribal saddlebags that have not been separated. Most of them have been cut in half because it is easier to sell one than two. However this complete set is still together and with exceptional vegetable dyed wool. An exciting item for the collector of these pieces or anyone who wants to bring a touch of the tribal to their home, these rare tribal bags will attract attention from all who admire, and be a great talking point. Amazing to find such a great ethnographic item

and still with the original leather protection hand sewn on, to protect the edges and reinforce.

Completely handwoven in the late 19th century, they were a utilitarian object made by the girls of the tribes and used to transport whatever would fit in them, over the back of a donkey. Made by the YURUK TRIBES, a nomadic group based in eastern anatolia (turkey)

Rare find indeed.

53 inches, (135cm) long. 18 inches, (46cm) wide.

Reduced price to £1495 gbp. BANK TRANSFERS,VIEWINGS,DISCUSSIONS,ETC ALL POSSIBLE.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

This late 19th-century Eastern Anatolian Yuruk nomadic saddlebag set represents a traditional tribal textile woven entirely by hand from wool and finished with stitched leather binding. The design incorporates crimson red, navy blue, and orange panels decorated with geometric star motifs, latch-hook medallions, and stylized animal figures. Original hand-sewn leather protection reinforces the edges of the double pocket structure, showing natural surface wear and age-related weathering along the bindings. Measuring 135 cm high by 46 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the piece is well suited for display on a narrow wall space in a hallway or living area to introduce a striking ethnographic element to the interior scheme.

FAQs

A heybe is a traditional double saddlebag crafted by nomadic tribes such as the Yuruks of Eastern Anatolia, designed to carry goods across pack animals or over the shoulder.

These textiles were hand-woven using hand-spun wool dyed with natural plant extracts, frequently finished with leather bindings, cowhide reinforcement, or woven flat-weave backings for durability.

Authentic pieces feature hand-knotted pile or flat-weave sections, asymmetrical tribal motifs unique to specific clans, natural colour variations known as abrash, and original leather or braided wool closures.

Textile saddlebags can be displayed as decorative wall hangings, draped over a bench or stair balustrade, or mounted in a box frame as tactile art to add texture and geometric pattern to a space.

Keep the textile away from direct sunlight and humidity, vacuum gently on low suction without a rotating brush, and condition any leather trim sparingly with specialist conservation waxes.
