About the Item
Discover a rare and authentic artifact of nomadic artistry with this Late 19th Century Persian Baluch Tribal Soumak Double Saddlebag, meticulously handwoven circa the 1800s. This complete saddlebag, also known as a "khorjin" in Persian, is a testament to the ingenuity and aesthetic sensibilities of the Baluch tribes. It's a particularly desirable find, as it retains both its original side panels and the connecting flat-woven (kilim) back, allowing for a comprehensive appreciation of its form and function.
The front of the bag features a captivating beautiful geometric design in a nuanced green/blue color, set against a warm pale yellow background. The subtle variations in the green/blue tones, a result of the natural dyeing process, add immense depth and visual interest. The back of the Baluch double saddlebag is crafted with a sturdy flat-woven kilim in a rich palette of brown and rust red, providing a striking contrast to the intricately designed front.
These Baluch saddlebags are renowned for their stunning colors and intricate designs, which are a direct result of using fine wool for both the pile (where applicable) and the foundation, coupled with the masterful application of organic vegetable dyes. This ensures a rich, enduring palette that includes deep navy, vibrant red, and beautiful blues and yellows. Originally, these functional yet artistic bags were indispensable for nomadic tribes, used to transport household items during their seasonal migrations. This exceptional double bag set offers a unique glimpse into a rich cultural heritage, making it a highly collectible and visually compelling addition for interior designers, home decorators, and individual customers seeking authentic tribal art.

Vintage Persian Shahsavan Soumak Saddle Blanket in Ivory, Lavender, Yellow, Blue
Located in Barrington, IL
This exquisite Soumak horse blanket from Northwest Persia is more than just a textile—it’s a window into a weaver’s world. Created over a century ago, the blanket features a free-form, expressive design that captures the spirit of its maker and the landscape in which they lived. Every motif, color, and variation reflects a personal and cultural narrative, woven by hand with intention and artistry.
Originally woven for practical use as a horse blanket, saddlebag, or mafrash (bedding bag), this piece exemplifies the transformation of tribal utilitarian objects into timeless works of art. These items once served essential roles in nomadic village life, and today they enrich modern interiors with their depth, texture, and heritage.
A true collector’s textile, this Soumak weaving invites us to imagine the lives of those who created and used it, offering a connection to distant lands and traditions. Whether displayed as wall art, draped over furniture, or thoughtfully layered into an interior space, it brings history, craftsmanship, and storytelling into the home.
