This antique tribal Persian saddle bag face has nomadic charm and is surely a little woven treasure showcasing naturally aged character, and symbolic motifs that represent the female weaver's story. From the late 19th Century, this is a saddle bag face and we only have a few in the collection. It features soft to the touch wool. It can be placed on the floor needing some love and life or it can be styled on a vanity, credenza, dresser, etc for beautiful decor. Another idea is to use it as a wall hanging. However you style it, this little saddle bag has a great deal of history to add.
Originally, this bag face was a saddle bag that was used by the tribe members on their livestock (typically camels, but also donkeys, and goats) to hold, carry and transport their goods. Typically, there would be two pouches bridged by a middle section that would sit on the back of the camel. For older pieces such as this one, it is only the bag face that we are left to cherish.
This handwoven piece is in worn condition. The raw, wool foundation is remarkable to see and feel. All the dyes you see are natural, vegetable dyes and it features abrash (different batches of boiled wool).
From the late 1800s.
