Whether used as a part of a Mafrash or as a standalone piece, its resplendent colors, crafted from vegetable-dyed wool, and traditional geometric tribal motifs tell a tale of rich history and artistic prowess. Constructed with precision, the bag is a mosaic of vibrant hues seamlessly pieced together using a running stitch and adorned with meticulous blanket stitch edges. This construction method, while contributing to its timeless beauty, also attests to its utilitarian origins. These bags were not just exquisite pieces of art but also served as saddlebags, accompanying travelers on their journeys, carrying precious small items.The bag's weave remains remarkably fine and of the highest quality. Its origins trace back to the Transcaucasia region, encompassing present-day Azerbaijan and the Caucasus. Shahsavan rugs, born in this culturally rich area, boast a tribal flavor, characterized by abstract geometric designs and a palette of rich, dynamic colors. Legend has it that Shah Abbas, a visionary leader, formed the Shahsavan tribe to fortify western borders against rogue Turkish groups. In a gesture of gratitude, he granted pasturage for their flocks, solidifying their loyalty. Aptly named "those who love the Shah," Shahsavan artisans, especially rug weavers, channel their tribal identity into producing small area rugs and flat-woven kilims. The striking aesthetic of Shahsavan rugs lies in their vibrant colors and intricate geometric patterns. Each piece is a testimony to a lifestyle now fading into history. This particular bag offers a unique glimpse into the nomadic life of its weavers, a lifestyle that is quickly disappearing in the modern world. Beyond its historical significance, antique Shahsavan bags are highly collectible and perfect for display. Imagine this captivating piece draped over a table, its colors and patterns igniting the room, or carefully mounted and hung on the wall, serving as a tribute to the tribal artisans who poured their heart and soul into its creation. Each thread in this bag weaves a story of tradition, resilience, and a love for craftsmanship that transcends time. Embrace the allure of this antique masterpiece and let it transport you to a bygone era of tribal artistry.ABOUT ELI PEER ORIENTAL RUGS Our Service Pledge We respond to all orders within 24 hours, we guarantee the authenticity of all our items About Us The home of Eli Peer Oriental Rugs is Evanston, Illinois, the academic center on Chicago’s North Shore.
