Description

This is a rare item which I am offering for the first time. The Shahsavan are an ancient tribe who migrated for the centuries in the Caucasian Mountains, eventually settling in the towns and villages of Azerbaijan and North-West Persia. They produced a range of weavings for domestic use including saddle bags, storage bags and rugs. This Shahsavan Soumac Bagface has lovely natural dyes and a jewel-like appearance. The field is composed of offset rows of finely drawn fern trees on a sapphire field which is framed by narrow borders. The main yellow border is decorated with an unusual stylised running dog geometric border. The whole composition is beautifully drawn. Recently cleaned in generally good condition. This piece is both collectible a. and would make a lovely item of interior decoration.

FAQs

A Shahsavan Soumac bagface is a fragment of a utilitarian nomadic storage bag crafted by the Shahsavan confederation using a distinctive wrapping flatweave technique known as Soumac.

These pieces are constructed using hand-spun sheep wool for both the foundation and the intricate supplementary weft-wrapping technique, often dyed with natural madder, indigo, and weld.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun wool irregularities, natural dye variations with characteristic abrash, and dense, structurally sound Soumac wrapping rather than modern machine backing.

Antique flatweave textiles can be mounted and framed as textile art on walls or displayed on tabletops to add textural depth, historical narrative, and rich colour palettes to contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, avoiding excessive moisture, and occasionally vacuuming gently through a mesh screen on a low setting.
