FAQs

A Shahsevan half-saddlebag, or khorjin face, is a handwoven textile panel created by the nomadic Shahsevan tribe of northwestern Iran and Azerbaijan. Originally constructed as part of a double bag for transport on pack animals, individual faces are often preserved as decorative art textiles.

These textiles were hand-spun from high-grade local wool and dyed using natural plant and mineral dyes. The weaves typically incorporate sumakh extra-weft wrapping, slit-weave kilim, or knotted pile techniques to create durable and intricate geometric patterns.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun wool construction, minor colour variations (abrash) from natural dye batches, and structural features such as extra-weft wrapping. Patterns usually display characteristic diagonal striping, latch-hooked motifs, and geometric borders distinct to the Moghan and Hashtarud regions.

A tribal saddlebag face can be mounted and framed as textured wall art, displayed over a display stand, or converted into a bespoke accent cushion. Its vibrant geometric patterning adds historic character to modern, boho, or eclectic spaces.

Keep handwoven wool textiles out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Dust by gently vacuuming with a low-suction brush attachment, avoid harsh chemical treatments, and consult a specialist textile conservator for professional cleaning or repairs.
