How are tribal bags used today?

Surviving bag faces and smaller pouches function well as decorative wall hangings, small accent mats, or tabletop displays. Their robust construction allows them to handle moderate display environments. Collectors often mount flatwoven bag faces on linen or frame them to protect the historical woolwork while integrating nomadic textiles into contemporary interior schemes.

How do I identify an Afshar rug?

Afshar pieces typically originate from the Kerman province and feature distinct rectilinear medallion layouts, frequent boteh repeats, and balanced indigo and madder red tones. Their structure often utilises firm wool foundations. Examining the specific regional attribution, such as the Neiriz or Sirjan areas, helps pinpoint the precise tribal subgroup responsible for the weaving.

What is a Qashqai kilim?

A Qashqai kilim is a slit-woven flat textile created by the Qashqai confederacy in the Fars province without a raised pile surface. These pieces rely on sharp geometric colour shifts and stepped diamond patterns. They offer lighter weight structures compared to pile carpets, making them versatile for placement as summer floor coverings or striking wall hangings.

How should I care for old wool rugs?

Gentle vacuuming without a rotating power brush prevents dirt accumulation while protecting fragile historical pile and foundational warps. Professional textile cleaning is recommended for deep maintenance. Keeping these pieces away from direct, harsh sunlight prevents the natural dyes from fading and preserves the original colour contrast inherent in nineteenth-century weaving.
