About the Item
Handwoven in the mid-20th century, this vintage Bakhtiari khorjin (saddle bag) displays the extraordinary craftsmanship and rhythm of nomadic weavers. Originally made for practical use on pack animals, the piece harmonizes three distinct techniques — flatweave, soumak, and pile — producing a richly layered texture that feels alive to the touch.
The pattern features finely rendered zigzag and diamond motifs across fields of terracotta red, rust, ivory, charcoal, and olive, framed by a vivid geometric border in coral and deep indigo. The result is a mesmerizing interplay of pattern and precision — a true reflection of the tribal Bakhtiari aesthetic.
Today, the two-bag form has been flattened and transformed into a versatile textile — equally striking as a floor accent, wall hanging, or collector’s statement piece that bridges tradition and modern interiors.
