How were tribal bags used?

Nomadic families utilised woven bags to store salt, personal items, provisions, and household goods during seasonal migrations. Their sturdy construction protected contents while accommodating the demands of travel. Specific forms like vanity-bags and salt-bags hung inside tents or fastened to pack animals, serving essential domestic functions alongside aesthetic roles.

How do I identify a Qashqa'i piece?

Qashqa'i items frequently originate from the Fars province and display specific sub-tribe designations in their traditional motifs. Artisans within these confederacies employed distinctive geometric patterns and rich natural dye combinations. Many examples include specialised items such as baby cradles and animal trappings carrying distinct cultural markers of the region.

How should I care for an antique rug?

Protect antique wool textiles by placing them in areas away from direct, continuous sunlight to preserve natural dye integrity. Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar prevents dust accumulation within the foundation. Rotate the textile periodically to ensure even wear patterns across high-traffic zones and consult specialist conservators for professional cleaning.
