FAQs

A chanteh is a small, hand-woven bag or pouch historically used by nomadic tribes in Persia to carry personal items, mirrors, or Qurans during migration.

Authentic tribal pieces typically feature hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation, often dyed using natural vegetable and mineral dyes such as madder and indigo.

Authenticity is determined by examining the irregularity of hand-spun wool, natural colour variations, asymmetrical tribal knotting, and traditional geometric motifs specific to the region.

These pieces can be framed as wall art, displayed on a side table, or integrated into eclectic spaces to add historical texture and rich colour palettes.

Preserve the fibres by keeping them out of direct sunlight, vacuuming gently with a mesh screen attachment without a beater bar, and avoiding chemical cleaners.
