Experience a piece of Persian nomadic heritage with this Antique Shahsevan Saddlebag, handwoven by Shahsevan artisans from Northwest Persia around the 1930s. Originally crafted for practical storage by tribal nomads, this saddlebag now serves as a distinctive decorative item that combines traditional design with functional versatility.
The saddlebag features abstract floral motifs set within bold borders, reflecting the artistic heritage of the Shahsevan tribe. Made entirely from 100% pure wool, the fibres have been dyed using natural vegetable dyes, ensuring an authentic finish true to its origins. The reverse side presents a dense kilim weave, including the joint areas, all neatly finished with carefully crafted sides that enhance its visual appeal.

Its compact size and durable construction make it a practical yet unique addition to contemporary interiors, blending rustic charm with cultural significance.
Preserved in mint condition, this piece holds collectible value for enthusiasts of antique Persian textiles and tribal craftsmanship. Incorporating this saddlebag into your home adds character and a tangible connection to the rich nomadic traditions of Persia.
