This half-saddlebag is an antique Persian tribal textile created by Lori-Bakhtiari nomads in the Chahar Mahal region of western Persia during 1870. The face is woven in a fine soumak technique using wool in shades of terracotta red, navy blue, and white, while the top opening retains its original woven closure loops, lappits, and side tassels. Geometric repeating motifs and a sawtooth border frame the navy central panel. Measuring 34 cm high by 34 cm wide, the square piece fits easily onto narrow wall spaces as a decorative textile in a home today. It hangs in a hallway or living area to display traditional tribal weaving and handmade artistry within a bohemian or eclectic interior scheme.

FAQs

A Khorjin is a traditional double saddlebag crafted by nomadic tribes in Persia for transporting household goods across long distances, with individual woven panels frequently preserved as decorative textiles.

These textiles are hand-woven using hand-spun sheep wool, rendered in natural plant and mineral dyes, often featuring combination techniques of flatweave and knotted pile.

Authentic pieces feature geometric repeating motifs, natural dye variation (abrash), high-grade hand-spun wool, and structural features such as woven closure loops and side tassels.

These historical textile panels can be mounted on walls as art pieces, fashioned into decorative accent cushions, or displayed on tabletops and shelving for added texture.

Vacuum gently using a low-suction attachment without a rotary brush, keep away from direct sunlight to avoid dye fading, and consult a professional textile conservator for cleaning.
