Late 19th Century Persian Turkmen Saddlebag with Modern Style

About the Item

78479 Antique Persian Turkmen Saddlebag, 01'09 x 03'04. This antique Persian Turkmen saddlebag, hand-knotted with ancestral precision, carries the soul of a nomadic journey stitched into every thread. Woven in the late 19th century by tribal hands, its purpose was not merely decorative but deeply functional—strapped across the flanks of a camel or horse as it traversed the arid landscapes between oasis and encampment. Now separated from the rhythm of hooves and the hush of desert wind, it retains the spirit of movement and memory, a living artifact of the road. Two mirrored panels burn with tribal symbolism: serrated latticework and eight-pointed stars—perhaps representing protection or celestial guidance—stand boldly against fields of crimson, emerald, ivory, and night-black. The bold geometry is more than ornamentation; it is a woven prayer, a declaration of identity, and a charm against the unseen. Greek-key borders spiral in eternal continuity, a motif as old as civilization itself, enclosing the power within. Flip it over, and the striped flatwoven back reveals an entirely different rhythm—bands of red, ochre, indigo, and earth running in vertical succession like rain against canvas. This utilitarian base speaks of the duality of tribal life: beauty facing outward, resilience hidden beneath. The clasping cords and tassels still dangle with pride, echoing the tactile reality of journeys made and burdens carried across ancient trade routes. To possess this antique Turkmen saddlebag is to hold a vessel of tradition—half sculpture, half story. It embodies both the intimacy of the weaver’s loom and the grandeur of the vast frontiers once crossed. Whether draped on a wall, laid across a chest, or displayed as a fragment of tribal heritage, it whispers tales of kinship, migration, and the enduring artistry of a people whose threads were bound to land, beast, and sky. Design a room that feels well-traveled and effortlessly inviting with this woven wonder of the world, whether it be used as a throw or wall decor. Rendered in variegated shades of red, black, navy blue, beige, dark green, charcoal, brick red, and brown coffee with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Hand knotted wool.

Late 19th Century Antique Persian Mahal Carpet with Modern Style

Located in Dallas, TX

61115 Late 19th Century Distressed Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 11'09 x 15'08. Worn by time and softened by countless dawns, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mahal rug from the Late 19th Century carries the ghostly grace of an heirloom remembered. Faintly traced across its gently distressed surface, a poetic lattice of Herati motifs hums beneath the antique-washed field—like a forgotten song whispered through garden walls. Its mellowed tones—earthy red, dusty taupe, sage, and loam—are brushed with the fading light of centuries, casting a warm, hushed serenity that calls to mind the ochre stones and sun-washed walls of Mediterranean villas and rustic Tuscan estates. At the heart of this tranquil expanse, a lozenge-shaped central medallion emerges, barely distinguishable yet striking in its quiet symmetry, flanked by corner spandrels that mirror its form and cradle hints of the Mina Khani design. The Mina Khani, with its circular rosettes and undulating vinework, suggests the movement of stars across an ancient sky, or a field of henna blossoms drifting in the breeze—feminine, rhythmic, and eternal. The whisper of this garden geometry unfurls with a sense of time slowed, drawing the eye deeper into its contemplative calm. Framing the softened field is a flowing botanical border, where curling tendrils and delicate floral sprays echo the timeless fertility of Persian design. This frame is further enriched by an inner and outer carnation meander guard band—each carnation a symbol of enduring love and layered protection, gently fencing this woven garden in quiet reverence. Though the outlines have blurred and the pigments have softened, every motif remains legible in spirit, revealing a masterful dance between dissolution and persistence. Ideal for interiors steeped in rustic refinement or Old World charm, this antique Persian Mahal rug brings a weathered elegance to any space it inhabits. From Mediterranean courtyards to Spanish haciendas, from Italian farmhouses...
