About the Item

Afshar sumak Bag, Late 19th Century Creating a distinct sense of motion, reciprocal bands of ïsirga, a linked-pinwheel motif, cross the field of this Afshar sumak. The cotton white provides a distinct contrast when paired with the madder-red wool, and the alternating colors of the delicate cross elements enhance this sense. The piece is topped by multicolored flat woven fasteners and retains its original fastening loops.

Antique Persian Afshar Bagface, Late 19th Century

$1,000

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.
