This authentic Pair of Antique Persian Tribal Saddlebags dates to the early 1900s and was handwoven by nomadic tribes of Southeast Persia. Originally designed as functional storage bags that could be joined together to form a complete saddlebag, these textiles were used by tribal communities during seasonal migrations—an essential part of their mobile way of life.
Each bag reflects the artistry and practicality of tribal weaving traditions, featuring durable handspun wool construction and time-honored techniques passed down through generations. The designs often incorporate geometric motifs and symbolic patterns, woven with naturally dyed fibers that have developed a rich, nuanced patina over time.
They can be displayed as textile wall art, highlighting their cultural heritage and craftsmanship, or repurposed as a striking pair of large floor cushions or pillows, adding warmth, texture, and authenticity to any space.
