FAQs

Afshar saddlebag faces are hand-knotted wool textiles created by the Afshar nomadic and village tribes of southern Iran, traditionally used as utilitarian pack bags before being collected as decorative art.

These pieces are crafted using hand-spun sheep wool for the pile, warp, and weft, historically coloured using natural vegetable dyes such as madder, indigo, and walnut husks.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-knotted construction, irregular wool characteristics, natural colour variation, Abrash effects, and traditional tribal motifs unique to the region.

As a small textile, it can be framed as wall art, displayed on a table surface, or used as an accent floor piece to introduce texture, heritage, and rich colour into contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and avoiding excessive moisture or chemical cleaning agents.
