How were these textiles used originally?

Nomadic groups utilised these woven and embroidered pieces for practical camp life, storing salt, pipes, and bedding inside tents. They also decorated pack animals during tribal migrations and ceremonial events like weddings. Over time, these utilitarian objects transitioned from functional camp gear into decorative items for domestic interiors. Their durability and striking tribal designs made them natural candidates for wall display.

Where do these wall hangings originate?

The pieces originate from pastoral and nomadic communities across Persia, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. Specific tribal confederacies, such as the Qashqa'i, Yomut, and Lakai, produced distinct regional styles. Geography dictated the materials and motifs available to each weaver. Rugged mountain ranges and wide steppes directly influenced the practical shapes and wool qualities found in these textiles.

How do I care for a textile wall hanging?

Protect antique wool and cotton textiles from direct sunlight to prevent natural dye fading over time. Hanging them securely distributes the weight evenly across the structure without straining individual threads. Periodic gentle dusting with a soft brush helps maintain the surface without damaging delicate embroidery or pile. Avoid moisture and damp environments to preserve the integrity of the natural fibres.
