Antique Chanteh (Vanity-bag), Shahsevan Nomads, Moghan Region, Azerbaijan.

1900 - 1920
Description

Vanity-bags or 'chanteh' in Persian, were made by nomadic women for their own use for containing coins, jewellery and mirrors, were highly prized possessions and were never for commercial sale. Today, they are scarce as this ancient art died out during the early 20th century.

Just occasionally, a little gem rears its head, often from Iranian sources who manage to acquire chantehs privately or still within the tribe itself. This charming tiny chanteh was woven by Shahsevan nomads in the Moghan region of Azerbaijan, probably around 1900. It is a complete, original little bag woven in soumak technique on the face and in plain-weave technique on the back. The Shahsevan woman has reinforced the opening part of the bag with blue cotton to give protection during use. A great little collectable chanteh.

Size: 20cm x 17cm (8" x 7").
