FAQs

A chanteh is a traditional small nomadic bag or pouch woven by tribal groups in regions such as West Persia, historically used for carrying personal belongings or as decorative storage.

These pieces are typically hand-knotted or flat-woven using hand-spun wool dyed with natural pigments, featuring sturdy construction designed for nomadic life.

Authenticity is identified through irregularities in hand-spun wool, natural colour variations from plant-based dyes, traditional tribal motifs, and age-appropriate wear to the structure.

These woven pieces can be framed as textile art, mounted on neutral walls, or used as accent pieces on a tabletop to add texture and historical depth to modern schemes.

Preserve wool textiles by keeping them out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, gently vacuuming with a mesh screen attachment, and avoiding excessive moisture.
