Complete Set Of Very Rare Antique Saddle Bags. Shahsavan Of Moghan North West Persia. Late 19th Century.

NORTH WEST PERSIA,LAST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY.

Weft float brocaded fronts. Multi coloured striped plain weave backs.

An exciting item for the collector of these pieces or anyone who wants to bring a touch of the tribal to their home, these rare tribal bags will attract attention from all who admire, and be a great talking point. Amazing to find such a great ethnographic item

I DOUBT THIS ITEM WAS EVER MADE TO BE EXPORTED ORIGINALLY. Completely handwoven and bound in the late 19th century, they were a utilitarian object made by the girls of the tribes and used to transport whatever would fit in them, over the back of a donkey.

Rare ITEM indeed.
