We are very pleased that Naperville Magazine will feature The Persian Knot Gallery in its December 2021 issue. The magazine is the sister publication to the Chicago Magazine and focuses on lifestyle in Western suburbs of the Greater Chicago Area.
In its December 2021 issue, the magazine is featuring cultures that have special celebrations around the Winter Solstice which is on December 21st, the beginning of the Winter Season. In ancient Persia, this night was called “Yalda” and was celebrated by family gatherings.
A number of items are going to be featured in the magazine including the Baluch Tribal Salt Bags. The Baluch trips in Southeast Persia and Western Afghanistan use the Salt Bags to store and transport salt. Salt has traditionally been a very important food preservative for nomads and tribes.

We are excited that Naperville Magazine reached out to the Persian Knot Gallery to be featured in their December 2021 Holiday Shopping issue. They reviewed our entire collection and selected a number of items from our Saddlebag, Horse Blanket and other Antique Tribal Weaving Collection.
