How do I hang a textile safely?

Mount your textile using a non-damaging sleeve or velcro attachment method sewn along the reverse top edge. This distributes the weight evenly across a concealed wooden batten without piercing the historic fabric. Avoid direct nails or clips that concentrate stress on single points of wool or cotton. Ensure the piece hangs away from direct sunlight to protect natural dyes from fading over time.

Are these textiles authentic tribal work?

The pieces reflect genuine nomadic production from specific regional confederacies such as the Qashqa'i, Afshar, and Shahsevan. Materials like hand-spun wool and natural dyes confirm their historic origins. Stylistic markers and structural traits tie them securely to nineteenth and early twentieth-century village workshops. Each attribution points to documented tribal weaving traditions.

How should I clean an old textile?

Gentle surface dust removal using a low-suction vacuum through a protective mesh screen is the safest regular maintenance. Professional textile conservators should handle any deeper cleaning to prevent dye bleeding or shrinkage. Water and standard detergents can permanently damage natural dyes and fragile wool or silk fibres. Keep the environment dry and well-ventilated to prevent moisture accumulation.

What is the difference between a bagface and a sofreh?

A bagface is the decorative front portion of a utilitarian storage sack, woven with concentrated patterns meant to be seen. A sofreh is a larger, flatwoven cloth historically used for food preparation and communal dining. Both items served vital domestic functions in nomadic tents before entering the collector market. Their distinct formats offer different visual scales for wall display.
