Antique Heriz Bag Face

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a beautiful antique Heriz bag face, that has been carefully sewn onto a hessian wrapped wooden frame, which can be hung on a wall.  A really wonderful way to use these amazing antique bag faces as art for the wall.  The size of the frame is 62 cm high x 60 cm wide, and the size of the Heriz bag is 54 cm high by 50 cm wide.

Woven by the nomadic weavers in Heriz of North-West Persia, these tribal bags would have originally been used as storage bags, and would have had a kilim backing which usually gets worn away from this wool piled front of the bag.  We can still see some of the kilim at the top of the bag, which has slits where they would have looped wool ties through to close the bag, so these were practical every day items.  Rare to find these tribal bag faces from Heriz, as they generally produced rugs, carpets and runners.  Over 120 years old the dyes on these bags are still vibrant, being all natural dyes.  As the bag face has been carefully sewn onto the frame it can be removed at any point too.

Purchase this wonderful mounted antique Heriz bag face via our secure checkout and we can safely wrap it and courier it to your home.  Or please book in a home visit or showroom visit to see this wonderful wall hanging up close.

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.

FAQs

An antique Persian bag face is the hand-woven front panel of a traditional nomadic storage vessel, such as a khorjin saddlebag or mafrash bedding bag. Nomadic weavers in regions like Heriz constructed these panels using hand-knotted wool pile with rich geometric patterns.

Tribal bag faces were hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton foundation. Dyers used natural plant and mineral pigments, including madder root for reds and indigo for blues, producing durable colour variations across the surface.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical hand-knotted construction, natural dye abrashes, and traditional tribal motifs such as geometric medallions. They often retain structural elements along the top edge, including original kilim borders or woven closure loops.

Mounted textile fragments are frequently framed as fine wall art or mounted onto neutral linen backings to display as textured focal points. They can also be integrated into bespoke decorative cushions or displayed on accent shelving.

Display wool textiles away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent colour fading and fiber degradation. Vacuum gently using low suction without a rotating brush bar, and consult a professional textile conservator for specialized cleaning.
