About the Item
Antique Persian Shahsevan Sumak Bagface, 19th Century
Using a saturated and subtly modulated medium-blue ground this large Shahsevan sumak bag face draws a creative reinterpretation of a classic design from the Khamseh region of Azerbaijan province. Here the various latch-hook forms, more typically organized around a central octagon, are rotated in rows of alternating ornament. The demarcation of the central portion of the field is done not through any unique element placed in the center but by the change of color of the elements of the central row. In keeping with the brilliant visual dynamism of form for which these tribal weavers are renowned an ambiguity is created between the notion of vegetal and zoomorphic and a case for either interpretation is plausible when looking at each individual element. Perhaps representing a trans-Caspian influence, a ‘syrga’ type main border, reminiscent of Yomut Turkmen weaving, is colorfully composed linking ‘S’ forms against an ivory ground. A parade of small colorful animals form the outer border adding a sense of joy to this more abstract geometric composition.

Located in Barrington, IL
This richly woven 19th-century Afshar bagface—originally the front panel of a nomadic saddlebag—is a remarkable example of tribal textile art from southern Persia. Once a utilitarian object crafted for everyday use by the Afshar people, it now stands as a vibrant piece of wall art, embodying centuries of tradition, craftsmanship, and nomadic heritage.
Woven by village and tribal artisans, bagfaces and mafrash panels like this one were essential to nomadic life, used for transport and storage. Over time, these humble yet intricate textiles have become prized for their bold geometric designs, expressive color palettes, and deep cultural roots.
The Afshar tribe is one of the oldest in the world, with a history stretching back to ancient Persia. Remarkably, many members of the tribe have maintained their nomadic lifestyle to this day, residing in regions that are home to some of the world’s earliest known civilizations.
Now appreciated far beyond their original function, Afshar bagface bring warmth, history, and timeless design into modern interiors—each piece a story woven in wool.
