19th century
For Sale by Rug Addiction
Description

A lovely antique Chanteh woven by nomadic Kurds circa 1880 with a woven pile front and kilim back. The front features an allover chevron design in pinks and blues.

These antique Chantehs have become very hard to find and are highly collectible.

The front of the bag shows some wear, particularly at the bottom with some knots missing in the corners and a small section in the centre. The kilim on the back is fraying slightly at the bottom. See photos.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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

A chanteh is a small nomadic bag or pouch traditionally hand-woven by tribal weavers, such as the Kurdish tribes of Persia and Anatolia, used for transporting personal belongings and grain.

Kurdish chantehs are typically hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun wool irregularities, natural dye abrash colour variations, flexible wool warps, and geometric tribal motifs rather than symmetrical urban workshop patterns.

Small tribal bag faces can be mounted and framed as wall art, displayed on flat surfaces as accent textiles, or repurposed as decorative cushion covers.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush, keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consult a professional rug restorer for specialised cleaning.
