FAQs

An Afshar bagface is the front panel of a utilitarian storage bag woven by the nomadic and semi-nomadic Afshar tribes of southern Iran, prized today as collectible miniature rugs.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun wool foundations and pile, dyed using natural vegetable colorants, and are woven using symmetrical Turkish knots.

Authenticity is indicated by wool quality, natural dye variations, characteristic geometric or boteh motifs, tribal weave structures, and appropriate age-related wear.

These versatile textile panels are frequently mounted as wall art, displayed on tables, or incorporated into neutral room schemes to add texture and historical depth.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to protect natural dyes.
