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

Traditionally known as a khorjin, a tribal saddle-bag was crafted by nomadic tribes across Persia to transport goods across camels, donkeys, or horses, featuring dual pouches connected by a central bridge.

Nomadic weavers predominantly utilised hand-spun local wool for both the warp and pile, coloured with natural vegetable dyes such as madder root and indigo, often incorporating supplementary flatweave techniques for structural durability.

Authentic Luri textiles feature bold geometric motifs, saturated primary colours, asymmetrical knots, and a sturdy wool foundation, often reflecting nomadic heritage through irregular, expressive tribal symbols rather than rigid city-workshop patterns.

An antique saddle-bag face can be mounted as framed wall art, converted into a decorative floor cushion, or draped over a console table to add texture, historical depth, and rich colour to contemporary or eclectic spaces.

To preserve antique woven wool textiles, vacuum gently without a rotary brush, keep out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and consult a specialist textile conservator for spot-cleaning or structural repairs.
