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

Jaf Kurd weaving originates from the nomadic Jaf tribe inhabiting the border regions of western Iran and Iraq. Their textiles are renowned for bold geometric diamond lattice patterns filled with stylized latch-hook motifs, saturated saturated natural colours, and robust wool construction.

These bags are constructed using hand-spun wool yarns dyed with natural plant and mineral extracts. The face is hand-knotted with a medium-to-long pile using symmetrical or asymmetrical knots, while the reverse is woven in a durable flat-weave plain kilim technique with horizontal striping.

Authentic 19th-century tribal bags feature hand-spun wool with natural abrash dye variations, soft flexible handle, authentic edge finishings, and complete flat-woven backings. Modern reproductions often use synthetic dyes, machine-spun yarn, and lack structural wear consistent with historic nomadic utility.

An antique tribal bag can be wall-mounted on a narrow wall or inside an alcove as a framed textile art piece. It can also be stuffed with a firm cushion insert and displayed on an armchair, sofa, or bench as a textured accent.

Keep antique wool weaving away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Clean exclusively using dry, gentle suction with a soft brush attachment, and store flat in breathable cotton covers away from damp environments and wool-damaging insects.
