Antique Pair of Saddle-bags, Timuri Tribes, Western Afghanistan.

19th century
Description

Complete 19th century saddle-bags like this one are becoming scarce, as many were cut in half during the early commercial part of the 20th century, to sell as cushions. Therefore it's important that those complete 'khorjin' should be preserved. The Timuri produced probably the most elaborate saddle-bags, particularly as can be seen here in the brocade work that constitutes the bridge. Both knotted-pile bags are in very good condition, as is the plain-weave back. Made in western Afghanistan circa 1880.

Size: 1.28m x 0.56m (4' 2" x 1' 10").

Physical Dimensions
Height
128cm (50.39")
Width

Declaration

Brian MacDonald Antique Rugs & Carpets has dated this piece to the 1880s.
