This antique Baluch saddle bag face dates from 1900 and represents traditional tribal textile art in wool. The hand-woven textile displays a repeating geometric tile pattern in dark red and navy tones, edged by a patterned flatwoven border and finished with kilim ends at the top and bottom. Soft glossy wool forms a good pile with very slight even wear across the surface, complemented by original upper and lower end finishes showing fine weft work decoration. The piece measures 61 cm high, 53 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. In a contemporary interior, this small textile functions as a decorative wall hanging in a study, library, or hallway, or serves as a collectors' study piece for historical textile displays.

FAQs

Baluch saddle bag faces, or khorjin faces, were woven by nomadic Baluch tribes inhabiting the border regions of Persia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Originally designed as functional double bags for transport and storage during nomadic migrations, the front faces were heavily knotted with decorative geometric patterns.

These textiles were traditionally hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both warp and pile, occasionally incorporating camel or goat hair. Weavers utilized natural vegetable dyes to achieve dark red, navy blue, and aubergine hues, finishing the edges with flatwoven kilim skirts and dark selvedges.

Authentic period pieces exhibit soft hand-spun wool, natural dye variation, and depressed warp construction creating a flexible handle. Look for traditional repeat geometric motifs, dark selvedges wrapped in wool or goat hair, and evidence of flatwoven end-finishings.

These small woven textiles are commonly mounted and framed as wall art to highlight their geometric geometry and rich colour palettes. Alternatively, they can be draped over side tables, displayed on benches, or incorporated into custom decorative cushions.

Preserve the pile by using a suction-only vacuum cleaner without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling fibres. Keep the textile away from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, ensure low humidity to prevent rot, and treat periodically for moth protection.
