This Persian tribal chanteh from 1900 is a small handwoven personal bag traditionally worn at the waist for carrying small items. The textile is made from wool, displaying a palette of red, indigo, and cream, with blue edging along the top seam and visible hand-plaited cord detail on the side. The central field contains a stylised floral medallion surrounded by a patterned geometric border with latchhook motifs, all executed in a flatweave technique. Measuring 22 cm high and 30 cm wide, this compact piece suits display in collections of antique textiles or as a decorative accent within bohemian home interiors. The surface shows clear handmade variations in the weave and pattern alignment across the rectangular format.

FAQs

An Afshar chanteh is a small, handwoven tribal pouch historically crafted by nomadic Afshar weavers in southern Persia to store personal belongings and small valuables.

These pieces are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a wool or cotton foundation, coloured using traditional plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic Afshar weavings feature saturated colours such as crimson and indigo, stylised floral or geometric motifs, and dense wool-on-wool hand-knotted construction.

Small tribal textiles function as mounted wall art, framed display pieces, or textured accent elements arranged on shelving and console tops.

Keep the weaving clear of direct sunlight and dampness, removing light surface dust with low-suction vacuuming or consulting professional textile conservators.
