Antique Spindle/water-pipe Bag, Lori-bakhtiari Nomads, the Chahar Mahal, West Persia.

1900 - 1920
Description

The ivory ground is woven in two parts, wool on the left side combined with cotton on the right side. A large deer or gazelle is depicted top centre with smaller stylized animals on either side. The three lines either side of the stylised flowers and the 'S' border are all in knotted-pile, as is the thicker line above the animals. The back is simply a continuation of the front face showing the lighter cotton and slightly darker wool in plain-weave.

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

Lori-Bakhtiari tribal bags are handwoven functional containers produced by nomadic pastoralists in the Chahar Mahal region of West Persia. These textiles were crafted to store and transport essential goods, tools, and water pipes during seasonal migrations.

These textiles were constructed using hand-spun sheeps wool dyed with natural plant and mineral pigments. Weavers employed a combination of flatweave and knotting techniques to create durable fabrics capable of withstanding rough nomadic use.

Authentic pieces feature irregular hand-spun yarn, natural dye variation, and specific regional motifs depicting stylised animals or geometric symbols. Construction details such as hand-braided handles and authentic backing fabrics also indicate genuine age and tribal origin.

Designers frequently mount these textiles in shadow boxes or hang them directly on narrow walls to add colour and texture. They function as striking folk art accents alongside both contemporary minimalist furniture and traditional antique settings.

Keep wool textiles away from direct sunlight and damp conditions to prevent fibre degradation and colour fading. Vacuum gently with a low-suction nozzle on a mesh screen, and consult a specialist textile conservator for deep cleaning.
