FAQs

Afshar saddle bag faces are panels woven by the Afshar nomadic tribes of southern Iran, traditionally used as components of functional pack animals before being repurposed as collectible small-scale textiles.

These pieces are traditionally hand-knotted with wool pile on wool foundations, frequently utilising vegetable dyes derived from local plants, roots, and minerals to achieve distinct colour palettes.

Authenticity is identified through wool quality, traditional symmetrical or asymmetrical knotting, natural dye variations, and characteristic tribal motifs such as boteh designs or stylized floral shrubs.

These small-scale textiles can be mounted and framed as wall art, displayed as tabletop centrepieces, or used as compact accent mats to introduce texture and historical depth into contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, vacuuming gently with a mesh screen attachment, and avoiding excess moisture or chemical cleaning agents.
