About the Item

Hand-embroidered in the historic city of Kerman in southwest Persia around the turn of the 20th century, this exquisite **Suzani—also known as Termeh embroidery—**is a refined example of Persia’s most sophisticated domestic textile arts. Created entirely by hand using silk and cotton threads on a deep red cloth ground, the piece displays a vibrant, harmonious palette of indigo blue, royal purple, saffron yellow, and warm brown. Suzanis of this caliber were traditionally made for auspicious household occasions, including weddings, dowries, and ceremonial gatherings, where they were used as table covers, ceremonial cloths, and decorative furnishings. Each motif and color was selected not only for beauty, but for its symbolic meaning—prosperity, protection, fertility, and continuity—making every piece a cultural document as well as a decorative work of art. The embroidery exhibits remarkable precision and fluidity, with scrolling floral and medallion forms that reflect Kerman’s long legacy as a center of Persian textile refinement. The luminous silk threads catch the light beautifully, giving the surface a subtle dimensionality and elegance. Today, this antique Suzani makes a striking statement as wall tapestry art, as well as an extraordinary table covering.

19th Century Persian Baluch Tribal Double Saddlebag in Blue, Pale Yellow, Navy
Located in Barrington, IL
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.
