How were these tribal bags used originally?

Nomadic groups utilised these woven pieces for practical storage and transport during seasonal migrations. Items such as khorjins and grain sacks held household possessions, food, and personal belongings. Over time, these utilitarian objects became expressions of tribal identity and artistic skill within the community.

What regions produced these textiles?

Weavers across Persia, Central Asia, and the Caucasus created these rugs and bags. Specific tribal confederations and groups, including the Qashqai, Khamseh, Baluch, and Yomut Turkmen, worked in distinct geographical territories. Each region and tribe developed a recognisable repertoire of symbols, structures, and colour palettes.

How do I care for an antique wool rug?

Protect these textiles by placing them in areas away from direct, harsh sunlight to preserve the natural dyes. Gentle, regular vacuuming without a rotating brush helps remove dust from the wool pile. Professional cleaning suited to antique textiles should be sought when deep maintenance is required.
