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.

19th Century Caucasian Soumak Rug Tapestry Wall Art
Located in Barrington, IL
This remarkable Shirvan Soumak from the Caucasus region of Asia is a rare and collectible textile composed of six individually designed panels, each showcasing its own distinct color palette and pattern. Woven using the traditional Soumak technique, this piece features naturally dyed wool, with vegetable-based pigments that have gracefully matured over time, resulting in a beautifully nuanced patina.
Unlike kilims, Soumak textiles are known for their thicker, more robust construction and embroidery-like detailing. The weaving technique—wrapping colored weft threads over warp yarns—produces a smooth face and a subtly textured back, creating both visual richness and lasting durability. Originally used for domestic bags and bedding storage (known as Mafrash), this type of weaving is now celebrated as collectible art.
Whether displayed as a wall tapestry or integrated into a curated interior design, this Shirvan Soumak brings authenticity, artistry, and the enduring spirit of nomadic life into your space. A treasured heirloom-quality piece for collectors, connoisseurs, and designers alike.

A 19th century Persian Baluch tribal soumak double saddlebag. The front of the bag has a beautiful geometric design in a green/blue color set on a yellow background. The variation in color in the green/blue design is very beautiful. The Baluch double saddlebags have a flatwoven kilim in a rich brown and rust red color.
This complete saddlebag is also known as “khorjin” in Persian, or a double bag set.

One usually sees only one of the panels but this piece has both side panels and the banded design kilim which forms the back of the bag. The saddlebags were used by tribes to move their household items from one location to another from their seasonal moves.
