Description

Recently acquired in Iran, this magnificent salt-bag is complete with neck decorative tassels and braided hanging cord. Both the front and back faces of this 'namakdan' (salt-bag - where 'namak' is salt and 'dan' is bag) are woven in very fine complimentary weft-weave - the back of the bag, equally attractive as the front.

Salt-bags, as the name implies, were used specifically for containing lumps of rock-salt which was given to the animals during long migrations to help in the dehydration process. Often pistachio nuts and almonds were also kept in the namakdan.

This superb namakdan was made by Qashqa'i nomads in Fars Province, south-west Persia around 1900 - 1920.

Size: 56cm x 34cm (1' 10" x 1' 1").

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.
