Antique Lors Chanteh 0.41m X 0.36m

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Rug Addiction
Description

A beautiful antique Chanteh woven by the nomadic Lors tribe circa 1900. It is piled on both sides with 2 different designs - on one side is a stylised tree of life and on the other, 3 medallions surrounded by a couple of peacocks and either goats or dogs. Interestingly, one side appears upside down which suggests that the weaver hadn't quite thought the finished design through! These small vanity bags were woven by the women of the tribe and would have been used to keep valuable items such as jewellery or money. These antique Chantehs have become very hard to find and are highly collectible.

Size: 0.41m x 0.36m (1ft 4in x 1ft 2in)

This chanteh is in good condition with moderate age-related wear. Fringes and selvedges are secure and it has been professionally cleaned.

Free worldwide shipping.

Date of Manufacture

Rug Addiction has dated this Antique Lori Chanteh Bag to the 1900s.

This antique Persian tribal chanteh dates from 1900 and originates from the nomadic Lors tribe. Woven from wool, the textile displays a rich colour palette of deep red, blue, black, white, and earthy tones, finished with secure fringes and selvedges showing moderate age-related wear. The central red field contains stylized animal figures, geometric rosettes, and floral motifs, enclosed within a serrated border and patterned outer guard bands. The piece measures 41 cm high, 36 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. Originally used by nomadic women as a small vanity bag to store valuables such as jewellery or money, this collectible tribal textile serves well in a modern interior when placed flat on top of a sideboard or chest of drawers. Alternatively, it works effectively as a decorative wall hanging in a living room, hallway, or study, bringing traditional nomadic craftsmanship and tactile warmth to an interior scheme.

FAQs

A Chanteh is a small nomadic tribal bag traditionally handwoven by Lori tribespeople of Western Persia. Used for storing personal items or small valuables, these textiles feature distinctive geometric patterns, animal figures, and rich natural dyes.

They are constructed primarily using hand-spun wool for the warp, weft, and hand-knotted pile. Natural plant and mineral dyes provide rich, varied colours, often finished with flat-weave edges or braided tassels.

Authentic pieces display hand-spun wool with subtle abrash colour variations, soft natural patination, and irregular symmetry typical of nomadic looms. The reverse side reveals a hand-knotted structure without machine synthetic backing.

These small textiles can be framed as wall art, displayed flat on a sideboard top or mantelpiece, or mounted on a stand to introduce texture and colour to eclectic or classic interiors.

Vacuum gently using a low-suction brush attachment without a beater bar. Keep the textile away from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and consult a professional textile restorer for deep cleaning.
