How do I hang a textile safely?

Mounting requires distributing the weight evenly across the top edge using a fabric sleeve or a padded wooden batten. Avoid using direct pins or nails that pierce the wool fibres. Conservation-grade Velcro stitched to a cotton backing band provides a secure hold for heavier flatweaves and tribal bags.

Are these antique textiles fragile?

Nineteenth-century nomadic woolwork is robustly constructed from durable animal fibres and sturdy vegetable dyes. Normal handling poses no risk to tightly spun pieces. Protection from direct sunlight prevents the natural dyes from fading over time.

What is a tribal bagface?

Nomadic groups wove utilitarian storage containers, such as Khorjin or torbas, to hold household possessions during seasonal migrations. The front panel typically received the most intricate geometric design. Separated from their original rear panels over time, these decorative faces now function primarily as wall art.

How do I identify tribal origins?

Distinctive colour palettes, specific knotting structures, and recurring geometric motifs point directly to regional groups such as the Yomut, Shahsevan, or Afshar. Border patterns often reveal the specific sub-tribe or oasis. Comparing structural details helps separate Caucasian weaving traditions from Central Asian or Persian examples.
