Description

What a fabulous salt bag! Intricately woven with vegetable-dye wool in soumack technique, this stunning bag is in immaculate condition for its age. Woven by Afshar tribes in the Bardsir area of southern Persia around the end of the 19th century, the highly experienced weaver had a superb feeling for design as you can see in the way that the lozenges in the central field appear to float over the compartmentalised pattern. Note also, the one remaining or possibly only one, cowrie shell symbolising 'good luck'! Let's not forget the back of the bag! Woven in madder-red plainweave technique, it features 9 stylised creatures. The sides of the bag are finely braided with goat-hair. A truly fantastic and collectable bag of the type very rarely found these days.

Size: 65cm x 56cm (2' 2" x 1' 10").

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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.
